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.
