隐藏原文=

How heavy is the Milky Way in comparison to its neighbor galaxy, Andromeda?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Well, depends how you calculate it.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

In 2006 one group of astronomers figured the Milky Way was twice as massive as Andromeda.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

A 2009 estimate evened the score, calculating that the two galaxies are equal in mass.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Now a new formula suggests we're only half the mass of Andromeda.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

To come up with that number, astronomers first measured the speed and distance of galaxies between three and 10 million light-years away.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

That allowed them to calculate the deformation of spacetime, and thus the mass, of our stellar neighborhood, aka the Local Group, a group of more than 50 galaxies, in which the Milky Way and Andromeda dominate.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

They deduced the center of mass between the two heavyweights and found that Andromeda may indeed be twice as massive as the Milky Way.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

The results are in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Researchers say this new model might be more accurate than past ones,

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

because it accounts for dark matter far from each galaxy's center, assuming the data's right, that is.

隐藏原文=

"Well, I never bet money on anything.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Because I'm aware of all the uncertainties and approximations."

Lead author Jorge Pe?arrubia of the University of Edinburgh.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

"One year from now, two years from now, some clever guy will come and say, 'Hey, you forgot to include this, actually when you do everything changes,' and then you will have to accept that."

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

For now, we'll just have to accept that we live in the wimpier of the two galaxies.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

At least until the next weigh-in.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Thanks for the minute, for Scientific American's 60-Second Science. I'm Christopher Intagliata.
