Origin of the Universe, Galaxies, Stars, Solar Systems, and Planets
How do we gather information about the universe? 1969 was the first time we left planet Earth. So how did those astronomer dudes learn things? They GOOGLED!!! Well, maybe not, Google didn’t exist way back then. This was even before Apple computers. Good grief! How did they learn anything!!

Types of Spectra
• Continuous
• Emission
• Absorption
We can use the different types of spectra to
• Determine the temperature of galaxies
and stars • Determine the chemical composition
of galaxies and stars • Determine the velocity of approach or
recession of stellar objects

Perfect Radiators and the Continuous Spectrum
![Page 6: Origin of the Universe, Galaxies, Stars, Solar Systems ......•White dwarf •Black dwarf •In special cases – neutron star or black hole When the star leaves the main sequence](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070212/610326dec70fde36c5560b4d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Stefan-Boltzmann Law: E = σT4
E = total energy radiated per unit area of a black body
σ = 5.670400 x 10-8 J s-1 m-2 K-4 = 5.6704 x 10-5 J s-1 m-2 K-4
T = Temperature (in K)
Equations describing Perfect Radiators (Black bodies)
Wien’s Displacement Law : λmax = b/T λmax = wavelength of the peak of the emission of a black body
b = 2.8977685×10−3 m K = 2,897,768 nm K = 2900 μm K
T = Temperature (in K)

Emission spectrum

Absorption spectrum

Absorption spectrum for the outer layers of the sun. The dark lines are the absorption bands. The wavelengths (energies) correspond to specific electronic transitions within atoms. These observations can be used to determine the chemistry of the sun.

Doppler shifts • If the distance between
two objects is constant the spectra don’t change.
• If the object is receding the spectra shift to longer wavelengths (red shift).
• If the object is approaching the spectra shift to shorter wavelengths (blue shift).
• The greater the shift, the greater the velocity of approach or recession.
• For stellar objects, the observation is that more distant objects have greater shifts than nearer objects.
• The velocity of recession increases with distance.

Hubble Constant (Ho) = km/s/3.2 x 106 ly
The relationship between distance and the velocity of recession is known as the Hubble Constant

Is the Universe Open or Closed?

The “Big Bang”
![Page 16: Origin of the Universe, Galaxies, Stars, Solar Systems ......•White dwarf •Black dwarf •In special cases – neutron star or black hole When the star leaves the main sequence](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070212/610326dec70fde36c5560b4d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Stars are classified by color and brightness • Color is an indication of temperature • brightness is a function of both the star’s luminosity (energy emitted)
and its distance from the Earth

Life history of a star •Main sequence •White dwarf •Black dwarf •In special cases – neutron star or black hole
When the star leaves the main sequence at the end of the fusion reactions a variety of processes occur, referred to as r, s, and p, which form the elements in the periodic table with atomic numbers greater than 26 (Fe).
