  1. A Study of the Correlation between Galactic Distance and Morphology Harry Gaebler and Rebecca Jensen-Clem

  2. What is Redshift? -The distances to 30 different galaxies were computed before camp using redshift.-Redshift is the movement of spectral lines toward the red end of the spectrum as light from distant objects is stretched. -Redshift can be used to calculate the recessional velocity of objects. -After obtaining the recessional velocity of an object, one can calculate its distance using Hubble's Law.

  6. Redshift Results for Galaxies >35 Mly

  7. Redshift Results for Galaxies <35 Mly

  8. Our Camp Observations We chose 4 different objects to observe with the CCD camera on the 61'' Kuiper Telescope-NGC 6946 (Sc)-NGC 7331 (Sb)-NGC 7604 (Sa)-NGC 7217 (Sa)

  9. NGC 7217 (Sa)

  10. NGC 7604 (Sa)

  11. NGC 7331 (Sb)

  12. NGC 6946 (Sc)

  13. Photometry ~Adding up the brightnesses of the disk and the bulge gives the total brightness of the galaxy~ IRAF was used to reduce the data~Integration of the disk and bulge data was the final step before finding the distance

  14. Finding the Distance -(f1)(d1)^2=(f2)(d2)^2-We used known redshifts as one of the distances in the equation-Galaxy                        Calculated Distance                Redshift Distance-6946                            11 Mly                                  19 Mly-7331                            59 Mly                                  34 Mly-7604                            290 Mly                                164 Mly-7217                            23 Mly                                  41 Mly
