(Solved): Number density 1.1 Consider a universe uniformly filled with galaxies of average radius, Rg=2000 ...
Number density 1.1 Consider a universe uniformly filled with galaxies of average radius, Rg?=2000pc. A reasonable number density of galaxies is, ng?=1/Mpc3. The parsec is a common unit in astronomy. 1pc=3.086×1016m and 1Mpc=106pc. A) The universe has an average density of ?0?=2.7×10?27kg/m3. Assuming that this mass is all contained in galaxies, calculate the average mass of a galaxy. B) Assume that the average star in these galaxies is equal to our sun. How many stars are in the average galaxy?
