AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding databases for extragalactic Cepheid variables to study their redshift in relation to distance. A user is seeking suggestions for astrophysics databases, specifically for extragalactic Cepheids. One recommended resource is a link to a database that includes extragalactic Cepheids, emphasizing the need to select distant galaxies for accurate measurements. Additionally, clarification on the specific type of data required could enhance the assistance provided. The conversation highlights the importance of using appropriate databases for astrophysical research.

Cepheid Database
Hi Guys! I've been working on my EE in IB Physics and I'm looking at how redshift of Cepheid Variables changes based on distance. I've been looking for astrophysics databases that include cepheid variables for a while now, but I can't find any. Is there any you guys can suggest or know of? Any help is extremely appreciated!

The link that @KDPhysics provided is just Cepheids in our galaxy, which I don't think is what you want. This link is a database of extragalactic Cepheids. You're going to need to choose galaxies that are far enough away that the Hubble expansion overwhelms the local motions.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
