33.How does the traditional theory of the formation of the galaxy explain the origin of globular clusters?
A.They formed in the disk and later were ejected to the halo.
B.They formed in other galaxies and were captured by close interactions.
C.They build over time from the collision of stars in the halo.
D.They formed early on during the free-fall collapse of the proto-galactic material.
34.What behavior do galactic rotation curves exhibit to suggest the existence of dark matter in an extended halo?

A.He determined the proper motion of globular clusters in the outer disk of the galaxy.
B.He found the distances to individual variables free floating in the halo.
C.He found the distances to open clusters found throughout the disk of the galaxy.
D.He found the distances to globular clusters distributed about the center of the galaxy.
36.If a star with a large peculiar proper motion and/or speed with respect a typical disk star is found what other property would you expect it to have?
A.Low luminosity.
B.Poor metal content compared to the Sun.
C.Old age.
