Homework 9due Nov. 26 (after Thanksgiving)• [CO 17.6 parts (a), (b)] [16.6 1sted., parts (a), (b)] Derive the deflection of the light ray passing a massive object. Note that your answer will come out a factor of two smaller than Eq. 28.20 [26.15 1sted.] because you are only asked to consider the term affecting the space-like part of the Schwarzschild metric. The time-like part is also affected (this is the answer to part c of this problem.Special offer: I have placed copious hints for how to solve this problem on the course web site. You’re in luck… I don’t know how to set up a secure web site requiring credit card payments, so these hints are absolutely free of charge. But give the problem a try without the hints as a starter.• [CO 28.15] [26.16 1sted.] Pay attention to the hint given with the problem. And remember the following oldies but goodies:• [CO 28.16] [26.17 1sted.] and the law of sines:Dark Matterso farMass/Luminosity• Local stellar luminosity function: M/L = 0.67• Our Galaxy, at larger scales:• Oort limit: M/L ~ 2.7• Slice through disk (Bahcall & Soniera) ~ 5• Rotation curve > 30• Escape speed > 30• Pop II dynamics (glob. clusters, etc.) ~ 27• Magellanic stream > 80 • Local Group timing 100 • X-ray halo of M87 > 750 • Groups of galaxies 200hVirial Theorem for Clusters • Galaxy clusters – “fair samples” of the universe.• Coma is closest relaxed cluster• Original mass measurement was by Zwicky (1933).• Measure n(r) , σv(r)n(r) = # of galaxies, σv(r) = vel.
