Assignment for next Friday
•Recreate Hubble’s 1929 plot using the same galaxies he used, but use modern values.
–You will probably need to use NED (NASA Extragalactic Database) and/or NASA’s ADS abstract service to find these values.
•Make a nice plot using the plotting package of your choice (e.g., IDL, sm, igi, by hand).
•Get the slope (method of your choice, some are better than others) which is the Hubble constant.
•Compare your value to Hubble’s and to the modern value.  What’s going on?
•You might want to learn to use LaTeX, too.
•
