Example problem: Example problem: fueling a quasarfueling a quasar
How much mass, in solar masses per year, does a quasar with a luminosity of 1040 W need to accrete? Assume that the efficiency of the accretion process is ten percent.

mass-to-light ratiomass-to-light ratio
the mass-to-light ratio is defined as the mass-to-light ratio is defined as the total mass in solar masses the total mass in solar masses divided by the luminosity in solar divided by the luminosity in solar luminositiesluminosities
for example: the mass of the Milky for example: the mass of the Milky Way within the Solar radius is about Way within the Solar radius is about 9x10 9x101010 M Msunsun, and the luminosity is , and the luminosity is 1.5x101.5x101010 L Lsunsun
the mass-to-light ratio is 6 Mthe mass-to-light ratio is 6 Msunsun/L/Lsunsun..
![Page 18: Lecture 39: Dark Matter review from last time: quasars first discovered in radio, but not all quasars are detected in the radio first discovered in radio,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfe41a28abf838cb5739/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
mass-to-light ratio mass-to-light ratio depends on radiusdepends on radius
the motions of satellite galaxies the motions of satellite galaxies around the Milky Way show that the around the Milky Way show that the mass within 100 kpc is about 10mass within 100 kpc is about 101212 M Msunsun..
the total luminosity within this radius the total luminosity within this radius is about 2x10is about 2x101010 L Lsunsun, so the mass-to-, so the mass-to-light ratio is about 50 Mlight ratio is about 50 Msunsun/L/Lsunsun!!
about 90% of the mass within 100 kpc about 90% of the mass within 100 kpc is dark matter.is dark matter.

another way to weigh a another way to weigh a clustercluster
assuming that the hot gas in assuming that the hot gas in clusters is in gravitational clusters is in gravitational equilibrium, we can use the equilibrium, we can use the temperaturetemperature of the gas to estimate of the gas to estimate the mass of the clusterthe mass of the cluster
v = (0.1 km/s) x (T/Kelvin)v = (0.1 km/s) x (T/Kelvin)1/21/2
then use v in the usual formula then use v in the usual formula M = (vM = (v2 2 x r)/Gx r)/G

Example: the Coma Example: the Coma clustercluster
The galaxies in the Coma cluster have an average orbital velocity of 1200 km/s within a radius of 1.5 Mpc. The hot gas has an average temperature of 108 K. Find the mass of the Coma cluster using both methods. Do they agree?
