Distance ladder uses successive methods to measure cosmic distances: parallax (nearby), Cepheids (galaxies), supernovae (clusters), Hubble (universe).
चरण-दर-चरण मार्गदर्शिका
- 1Measure parallax for nearby stars
- 2Use Cepheid variables to calibrate nearby galaxies
- 3Extend to distant supernovae
- 4Apply Hubble law to universe
हल किए गए उदाहरण
इनपुट
Distant galaxy
परिणाम
Distance 100 Mpc using multi-rung method
Each rung calibrates next
सामान्य गलतियां जिनसे बचना है
- ✕Neglecting rung calibration errors (accumulate)
- ✕Using inconsistent Hubble constant
अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न
Why not direct measurement?
Angular sizes too small; need successive calibrations.
