If a transit depth of 0.001 (or 0.1% decrease in brightness) is detected for a star with a radius of 0.3 RSun, what would the radius of the exoplanet be in units of RSun?
Due to the fact that planets emit more infrared radiation than any other type of light, astronomers have the best chance of directly imaging an exoplanet in the infrared part of the spectrum. select one of the following: A) true B) false
List three ways in which the exoplanets we have detected have been found to be different from planets in our solar system.
Why did it take astronomers until 1995 to discover the first exoplanet orbiting another star like the Sun?
What revisions to the theory of planet formation have astronomers had to make as a result of the discovery of exoplanets?
When astronomers found the first giant planets with orbits of only a few days, they did not know whether those planets were gaseous and liquid like Jupiter or rocky like Mercury. The observations of HD 209458 settled this question because observations of the transit of the star by this planet made it possible to determine the radius of the planet. Use the data given in the text to estimate the density of this planet, and then use that information to explain why it must be a gas giant.
An exoplanetary system has two known planets. Planet X orbits in 290 days and Planet Y orbits in 145 days. Which planet is closest to its host star? If the star has the same mass as the Sun, what is the semi-major axis of the orbits for Planets X and Y?
Why were giant planets close to their stars the first ones to be discovered? Why has the same technique not been used yet to discover giant planets at the distance of Saturn?
If you could visit another planetary system while the planets are forming, would you expect to see the condensation sequence at work, or do you think that process was most likely unique to our Solar System? How do the properties of the extrasolar planets discovered so far affect your answer? Do you expect the most planetary system in the Universe have analogs to our Solar System’s asteroid belt and Kuiper Belt? Would all planetary systems show signs of an age of heavy bombardment? If the solar nebula hypothesis is correct, do you think there are more planets in the Universe than stars? Why or why not?
Is there an exoplanet detection method that works better with detecting exoplanets that are at a large distance from their host star? a) none b) radial velocity method c) direct detection d) transit method
How much would a 10lb bowling ball weigh on an exoplanet that was twice as massive as Earth but had the same radius? 1. 10lb 2. 40lb 3. 100lb 4. none of the above
Imagine a trans-Neptunian object with roughly the same mass as Earth but located 50 AU from the sun. a) based on the solar nebula theory, what do you think this object would be made of and why? b) on the basis of speculation, assume a reasonable density for this object and calculate its diameter in units of Earth radii.
