Average distance in the V band and the formula calculating is (5 log dpc − 5 + AV = µ + AV) which is dpc = 10^u/5 + 1. I think I may have solved the issue? Is it simply the bracket in the equation above where I am calculating (10^u/5) +1 not 10^(u/5 + 1)?
Homework Statement
I'm using python to calculate the age of the universe, by working out the distmodulus for a set of galaxys (using the V and I bands) then working out the distance in parsecs and then hubbles constant etc... I keep getting values that are 10s of magnitudes out which I assume...
