    25 visualizações23 páginas
    This document discusses astrophysics concepts related to measuring distances in the universe, including Hubble's Law, benchmark cosmological models, proper distance, luminosity distance, standard candles like Cepheid variables and Type Ia supernovae, and how supernovae data shows an accelerating expansion of the universe consistent with general relativity. It also mentions using a cosmological calculator website and a future Python notebook and problem set on these topics.
