Homework old and new
• Old: HW#2 returned.  Some small issues, but overall I am pretty happy
with the effort.
– Discuss assumptions in first problem, different data, inclination
– For the Coma problems, more thought into discussions, about all the
assumptions, the dark matter, stars, gas, etc.
– Pretty nice overall.
– Discuss the pros/cons of the galaxy spectrum modeling as currently
implemented.  Also, what of the redshift business?
• New: for several problems you will need to run a galaxy simulator
described in the hand-out from Caroll & Ostlie’s appendix H.  There is
a Windows based implementation that can be downloaded from
http://tnewton.solarbotics.net/galaxy.html which you should get and
verify ASAP.  I will demonstrate in class.
– Also, five parts to a scientific article.
