I am doing a lab and it asks me to figure the distance of an object in pc (parsecs) and then it asks to figure the distance of the same object in Mpc (Mega-parsecs).
*I know that D= 10^((m-M+5)/5) <---will this get me Distance in pc?
If it does than I think I did this right.
D=...
Okay! Not a problem...I just didn't want to get confused with the stuff I have already done and then information given to me. What I have so far is this:
M= m + 5 - (5 log D)
M= (-26 + 5) - ( 5 log D)
M= (-21) - (5 log D)
***My question is how to figure it out after this. I know it...
Astronomy Help Please! :)
I am having a problem figuring out this question. On all my other work the questions have been different. Could anyone help me with this Astronomy problem and show me how to work it out? Thank you! Anything would be greatly appreciated.
What is the absolute...
