Galaxy RotationInvariably, it is found that the stellar rotational velocities remain
constant, or "flat", with increasing distance away from the
galactic center.
This result is highly counterintuitive since, based on
Newton's law of gravity, the rotational velocity would steadily decrease
for stars further away from the galactic center. Analogously, inner
planets within the Solar System travel more quickly about the Sun than
do the outer planets (e.g. the Earth travels around the sun at about
100,000 km/hr while Saturn, which is further out, travels at only one
third this speed). Kepler’s Third Law: P 2 ~ a3
One way to speed up the outer planets would be to
add more mass to the solar system, between the planets.

• There is a LOT of non-luminous matter.
• Gravitationally, our observations show that the universe is almost 90% non-luminous matter!
• 90% of the universe is made up of stuff we can not see!
• Solar System Mass to Light Ratio ~ 1– The Sun has 99.85% of the mass and 100% of the light
• This changes to ~100 on galactic and extra-galactic scales– There is a LOT of mass inferred by gravity, but not much light

“Redshift”• Hubble wanted to know the distance to the faint nebulosities
• He took galaxy spectra to obtain their radial velocities.
• Armed with distance determinations to local galaxies utilizing pulsating Cepheid stars, Hubble discovered that galaxies were in general moving away from the Milky Way.
• The recessional velocity of galaxies increases with increasing distance. (Redshift-Distance relation, a.k.a. the Hubble Law)

Hubble Flow
• Galaxies A, B, and C separated by distance d• After some time (t) this distance has doubled (2d)• Distance between A,B and B,C is now 2d, and A,C is 4d• Recession velocity of B from A is v = d/t,
and B from C from A is v = 2d/t• The farther away you are, the faster you appear to recede!

Hubble Constant
Vr = H0D
H0 = Hubble constant
= 60-80 km/s/Mpc
Units for 1/H0 = seconds
This is an age estimate for our universe.
The true age should be less than this
maximum age estimate because matter has
surely caused some amount of deceleration.

Age Estimation
H0 = 60-80 km/s/Mpc
1/H0 ago, all matter was piled up onto each other
if there has been no acceleration or deceleration.
1/H0 ~ 10-20 Billion years (Gigayears)

H = H(t)Has expansion remained constant throughout time?
Has expansion been slowing down due to the matter in the
universe gravitationally attracting?
OR
Is the universe accelerating?
Therefore, H0 = H(tnow)
The Hubble constant is not a fundamental constant,
it is variable with time.
