A galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound system that consists of stars and stellar remnants, an interstellar medium of gas and dust, and an important but poorly understood component tentatively dubbed dark matter, contains 107 to 1012 stars A star is a massive, luminous ball of plasma that is held together by gravity,½ to 20 times the mass of sun. A supernova (pluralsupernovae) is a stellarexplosion. A white dwarf, is a small star composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter. They are very dense; a white dwarf's mass is comparable to that of the Sun and its volume is comparable to that of the Earth.
The Crab Nebula is a pulsar wind nebula associated with the 1054 supernova.

A Type Ia supernova resultsfrom the violent explosion of a white dwarfstar when it reaches 1.4 times the sun’s mass. These supernova always explode with fixed luminosity and thus are the standard candles of the universe. By measuring their redshift and brigtness we conclude how universe has expanded in the past and how it is expanding now. A neutron star is a type of remnant that can result from the gravitational collapse of a massive star during a supernova event. Such stars are composed almost entirely of neutrons. If the exploding star leaves a core remnant between 1.4 to 2 solar masses the remnant is a neutron star. If the remnant is more than 5 times the mass of the sun it becomes a black hole. In between it may be a quark star which are yet hypothetical.

The Microwave Sky, c. 1996The all-sky image produced by the COBE Satellite. It is a low resolution image of the sky (7 degree resolution), but obvious cold and hot regions are apparent in the image. The large red band is the microwave emissions from our own galaxy.
Empirical foundations of the Big Bang theory. • Cosmic Microwave Background. • Physical and chemical composition of the Universe.
Cosmic Microwave Background • The cosmic microwave background was discovered as a background “noise” a real problem for telecommunication satellites (1965) • Wherever Penzias and Wilson pointed their antenna they would detect a microwave signal, very uniform across the sky • This signal is now called the cosmic microwave background…
Cosmic Microwave Background • The CMB was already visible in the data taken by Dunham and Adams of the properties of CN in the interstellar medium …back in 1937 • The saw that CN was excited as if it was immersed in a thermal bath of radiation of temperature T~3K… • But nobody realized it.. So the Nobel Prize went to Penzias & Wilson… and not to Dunham and Adams.. Such is life..
Cosmic Microwave Background • A group of physicist (initially Gamow (1948) and then Alpher and Hermann (1950) and then Dicke and his group at Princeton) had predicted such radiation, from the so-called big bang nucleosynthesis theory (later in the class..) • The CMB was predicted to be: • Thermal • At a temperature of about 5K • Isotropic • Dicke was devising a CMB search when the discovery was made. His paper with Peebles, Roll, and Wilkinson presented the cosmological interpretation along-side the Penzias and Wilson paper.
Cosmic Microwave Background. Thermal “Blackbody” Radiation • We know Penzias and Wilson detected isotropic radiation, so that was consistent with the Big Bang model and the copernican principle • The theory predicted it to be thermal, i.e. a blackbody. • But what is really a blackbody? Matter and radiation in equilibrium Characteristic spectral shape Wien’s Law - hotter body produces higher energy photons
Is the Microwave Background Radiation a Blackbody?COBE got the answer

What is the universe made of? “normal” matter • Ordinary matter is made for the most part of protons and neutrons, i.e. quarks up and down. • For this reason we refer to ordinary matter as baryonic matter • Neutrinos should not have mass in the standard model, but they do (neutrino oscillations) • No antimatter is observed!
What baryons? Chemical composition of stars. • The sun is made of: • Hydrogen (74% by mass) • Helium (25%) • Heavier elements (1%) commonly referred to as “metals” by astrophysicists • This is way more He than expected from a universe initially made of Hydrogen where Helium is produced in stars… • This is a common problem: Helium abundance is always ~25%
Helium abundance. The Big Bang solution • He is produced in the early Universe when T was high enough (above ~109 K) to allow for nuclear fusion. • Why do you need high temperature to do fusion? • The Big Bang theory predicts exactly the abundance of all heavy elements.
Big Bang nucleosynthesis predicts a primordial abundance of about 25% helium-4 by mass, irrespective of the initial conditions of the universe. As long as the universe was hot enough for protons and neutrons to transform into each other easily, their ratio, determined solely by their relative masses, was about 1 neutron to 7 protons (allowing for some decay of neutrons into protons). Once it was cool enough, the neutrons quickly bound with an equal number of protons to form helium-4. Helium-4 is very stable and neither decays nor combines easily to form heavier nuclei. So out of every 16 nucleons (2 neutrons and 14 protons), 4 of these (25%) combined into one helium-4 nucleus. One analogy is to think of helium-4 as ash, and the amount of ash that one forms when one completely burns a piece of wood is insensitive to how one burns it. The helium-4 abundance is important because there is far more helium-4 in the universe than can be explained by stellar nucleosynthesis. In addition, it provides an important test for the Big Bang theory. If the observed helium abundance is much different from 25%, then this would pose a serious challenge to the theory. This would particularly be the case if the early helium-4 abundance was much smaller than 25% because it is hard to destroy helium-4. For a few years during the mid-1990s, observations suggested that this might be the case, causing astrophysicists to talk about a Big Bang nucleosynthetic crisis, but further observations were consistent with the Big Bang theory.[
Theories which govern Particles and Cosmology: Special Relativity depends on the absoluteness of light velocity. In simple terms velocity of light “added to” any other velocity still gives velocity of light. Quantum Field Theory unifies quantum physics whose basis is the uncertainity principle with special relativity. Standard Model incorporates the known particles: leptons, quarks and the electromagnetic, weak and strong force carriers in a consistent Quantum Field Theory . General Relativity generalizes Newtoniain Gravity such that it is consistent with Special Relativity. Both Newtonian Gravity and Special Relativity are noncoinciding special cases of General Relativity. General Relativity depends on the principle that matter-energy curves space-time. As yet no Quantum Field Theory which is consistent with General Relativity exists. A solution to this problem may be that basic entities are not point particles but are strings.
CosmologyAstrophysicsandParticles: a Postlude 1: a closingpiece of music; especially: an organ voluntary at theend of a church service2: a closingphase (as of an epochor a literarywork) GodandPhysics Newton, in his book “Principiamathemetica” explicitlyreferstoGodandsays his work is proofthatgodexists: God and the Universe This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being. And if the fixed stars are the centers of other like systems, these, being formed by the like wise counsel, must be all subject to the dominion of One, especially since the light of the fixed stars is of the same nature with the light of the sun and from every system light passes into all the other systems; and lest the systems of the fixed stars should, by their gravity, fall on each other mutually, he hath placed those systems at immense distances from one another.
This Being governs all things not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all; and on account of his dominion he is wont to be called "Lord God" . . . or "Universal Ruler." . . . Itis the dominion of a spiritual being which constitutes a God. . . And from his true dominion it follows that the true God is a living, intelligent and powerful Being. . . he governs all things, and knows all things that are or can be done. . . He endures forever, and is everywhere present; and by existing always and everywhere, he constitutes duration and space. . . In him are all things contained and moved; yet neither affects the other: God suffers nothing from the motion of bodies; bodies find no resistance from the omnipresence of God. . . As a blind man has no idea of colors so we have no idea of the manner by which the all-wise God preserves and understands all things. He is utterly void of all body and bodily figure, and can therefore neither be seen, nor heard, nor touched; nor ought to be worshipped under the representation of any corporeal thing. We have ideas of his attributes, but what the real substance of any thing is we know not.... Much less, then, have we any idea of the substance of God. We know him only by his most wise and excellent contrivances of things. . . We reverence and adore him as his servants, and a god without dominion, providence, and final causes, is nothing else but Fate and Nature. Blind metaphysical necessity, which is certainly the same always and everywhere, could produce no variety of things. All that diversity of natural things which we find suited to different times and places could arise from nothing but the ideas and will of a Being necessarily existing. . . And thus much concerning God, to discourse of whom from the appearances of things does certainly belong to Natural Philosophy.
On the other hand Newton’s belief in an eternal nonchanging heaven may have prevented him from discovering the Big Bang model. The Friedman equation which governs the expansion of universe was first derived using General Relativity but we have seen that they can be derived from Newton’s equations.
