3. Spiral Galaxies
(a)(20 points) Calculate the total Mass of each spiral galaxy.
(b) Calculate the distance to each Spiral Galaxy using:
i.(10 points) Leavitt Law (Cepheid Distance)
ii.(10 points) Tully-Fisher Relation
(c)(10 points) Which galaxies, if any, could belong to the same galaxy cluster (\(\sigma_{V_{r}}\sim 150\)\(\mathrm{km}/\mathrm{s}\))?
(d)(10 points) Why does modern Tully-Fisher work use \( I \) of \( H \)-band photometry, instead of the original \( B \)-band in which the relation was first discovered?
