Galaxies: Redshift, velocity and distance

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the age of the universe using Hubble's Law, specifically requiring data from 40 galaxies that includes redshift (z), velocity (v), and distance (d). The user seeks reliable sources for this data, explicitly excluding Wikipedia. A recommended resource is the SkyServer website, which provides access to necessary astronomical data.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Hubble's Law and its application in cosmology
  • Familiarity with astronomical concepts such as redshift, velocity, and distance
  • Basic knowledge of data sourcing and validation in scientific research
  • Proficiency in navigating astronomical databases like SDSS SkyServer
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the SDSS SkyServer for redshift data on galaxies
  • Research methods for calculating the age of the universe using Hubble's Law
  • Investigate other astronomical databases for galaxy velocity and distance data
  • Study the implications of redshift measurements in cosmology
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, astrophysics students, and researchers interested in cosmology and the calculation of the universe's age.

Ok, so I need to calculate the age of the universe using hubbles law.
Problem is that I cannot find enough data:
Information I'm looking for:
40 galaxies including all of this three:
Redshift(z)
velocity(v)
and distance(d)

Can anyone could direct me to any professional/reliable (which excludes wikipedia[I NEED REFERENCE]) websites/links?
I did research but did not find anything reliable all good enough.
Thank you!
