PPT-Many galaxies have powerful energy sources in their nuclei

These are called active galaxies Active Galaxies and Quasars By looking far away and back in time astronomers have discovered The origin of active galaxy energy sources and outbursts were closely related to the formation and history of galaxies.

Distance and time are always mixed in astronomical observations.. The finite speed of light means that we always see things after they have happened–a delay of 8 minutes for the Sun and about 12 billion years for the most distant galaxies we can observe. In other words,. Lesson Objectives. To appreciate that some galaxies emit far more energy at some wavelengths that can be explained simply in terms of ‘starlight’.. To recall the types of active galaxies.. To show an understanding of the mechanism for producing large quantities of radiation from active galaxies.. With a wide-field multi-IFU spectrograph. Cluster studies. Clusters provide large samples of galaxies in a moderate field. Unique perspective on the interaction of galaxies with their environment. As they operate much as a closed box, they are useful as tracers of galaxy evolution and of cosmology. Recap. Canvas homework: due on Wednesday. Lab this week: Galaxy Morphology. Campus Observatory.
