... • A blackbody is an ideal object that absorbs all radiation falling on it. • Blackbody radiation is light given off because of an objects temperature. • Don’t confuse with reflected light: – Buses are yellow not because they are hot enough to emit visible radiation but rather they reflect the yellow ...

Dark matter
... Some of the dark matter in galaxy “halos” consists of Massive Compact Halo Objects (MACHOs, for short). MACHOs can be “failed stars”; balls of gas smaller than a star but bigger than Jupiter. MACHOs can be “ex-stars”; ...

... Screen shot of the ADRIC program showing 15’ SuperCOSMOS field centred on a HICAT source, with published velocities in red, blue ellipses from SExtractor catalogue (selected galaxy in purple). The buttons classify the selected optical counterpart (allowing cases of poor photometry due to merged obje ...

Relativistic Third Kepler Law for Circular Orbits
... In this paper the third Kepler’s law is derived for the circular orbits using two different relativistic metrics and compared with the third Kepler’s law derived from the Newtonian physics. It is found that the mass of the Sun is slightly underestimated when using the traditional calculations, which ...

Cosmology
... What is the principal observational evidence that the age of the Universe is about 14 billion years? A. The oldest rocks (carbonaceous chondrites) in the solar system indicate an age of 14 billion years; B. Radioactive decay of heavy elements created in the Big Bang indicates an age of 14 billion y ...
