Physics 341: Problem Set #5
due October 18 by 2:00 PM in PDF format on Canvas [40 pts]
You are encouraged to work in groups on these problems, but each student must write up the
solutions individually. You must also list your collaborators on your solutions, and cite any
external sources you used (other than the course notes or textbook). Using online solutions
to these or similar problems is not allowed.
Show your work and explain your reasoning. The number of points for each problem is listed;
partial credit will be given. Be careful with units.
Questions asking about concepts require at most a few sentences to answer. Please make
your answers clear and
concise
.
1. Which of these is a true statement about typical visual binaries and typical spectro-
scopic binaries that we observe? [5 pts]
A. The typical spectroscopic binaries have higher eccentricities
B. The typical spectroscopic binaries have lower inclinations (closer to face-on)
C. The typical visual binaries have longer periods
D. The typical visual binaries have faster orbital speeds
Answer: C
2. In a single-lined spectroscopic binary, where we only measure the period
P
and one
radial velocity amplitude
K

, what can we determine about the unseen companion? [5
pts]
A. Its minimum mass
B. Its maximum mass
C. Its minimum radius
D. Its maximum radius
E. none of the above
Answer: E.

(a) In the diagram above, mark the location of star 2 at times
A
,
B
,
C
, and
D
.
Star 2 must be on the opposite side of the focal point from star 1 at each time.
Therefore, the locations are:
(b) Sketch a plot of the kinetic and potential energies of star 1 as a function of time.
On a separate plot, sketch the kinetic and potential energies of star 2 as a function
of time. Indicate on the time axes where times
A
,
B
,
C
, and
D
are. You do
not
need to place numeric values on the axes, but you
do
need to indicate the location
of zero on the energy axis.
Star 1 has the lowest kinetic energy at time B, and the highest (least negative)
2
potential energy at B. It has the lowest potential and kinetic energies at D. A must
be prior to B and C between B and D, with A closer to B than C is to B. Star 2’s
kinetic and potential energy curves should match the general shape of star 1, as
the times when star 1 are nearest to the focal point correspond to the times when
star 2 is as well, and vice versa.
(c) Star 1 completes an orbit in 25 days. What are the masses of star 1 and star 2?
Answer in units of
M
