The Harvester

Today Jake was back so I was able to show him my *ahem* 'pretty graphs' and stuff. So then he told me to look for the conversion of flux to luminosity which happens to be (4*pi*d^2) where d is the distance to the galaxy in...cm!! Yes cm not like km or even meters cm!! So I first had to find the distance in Mpc which are like 3.26 light years and then I found this handy little converted that converts basically any distance measurement to any other distance measurement. So after that we went to Java's (without Jake) and had an interesting conversation about babies and Port-a-potties. We got bad and I decided to do a hard-core search for some missing data I had in my spread sheets. I was looking for the distance of several galaxies and the one that persisted on eluding me was NGC 5141. Not only did it have the nerve to stand up me up in that department but also when I was looking for the mass of the black hole. So I spent most of the day chase data all over the web...I don't have much proof but I did accomplish a lot...I think. So I'm all done harvesting data for now...but tomorrow will tell!
