Neutron Star, White Dwarf Binary Separation.
A neutron star and a white dwarf have been found orbiting each other with a period of 42 minutes. What is their average separation? Compare the separation with the radius of the Sun, 7×105 km. A typical white dwarf is about as massive as the Sun. Suppose the mass of the neutron star is 2 solar mass. (Hints: Use the version of Kepler's third law for binary stars and make sure you express quantities in units of AU, solar masses, and years.)

As the shape of the graph shown is not skewed, the orbit can be assumed circular. Also assume the system is viewed edge-on (that is, the orbital system is not inclined to the observer). Using these assumptions, the maximum radial velocities, and the orbital period T = 7.75 hours, find the orbital radii of the stars from the center of mass. (Hints: The figures below may be helpful. Use v = 2πr/P, where v is velocity, P is period, and r is radius. Note: redshifts have positive radial velocities values in the upper figure, whereas blueshifts have negative radial velocity values.)arrow_forward

- Double stars are stars which are close enough and move slowly enough that they orbit each other. Each star is located at the focus of the ellipse of its orbit around the other star. Consider a binary star system which has an average angular separation of 6.1" arc and a period of 87.3 years. The annual parallax of the stars, p, is 0.192"arc. We call the measure of the angular separation of the two stars, . [remember that 1 degree is divided into 60 'arc (read this as 60 minutes of arc) and each 1'arc is subdivided into 60"arc (read this as 60 seconds of arc)]. The distance to the binarystar system is calculated from its parallax , p, of 0.192"arc, which has been measured carefully over a period of the last 92 years. First we must calculate the distance to the binary system: D = 1/p where p is the parallax in seconds of arc giving D in parsecs. The distance, D = 1/p = ________ pc How many light years does this correspond to?

We also have learned that most stars orbit at least one other star (two stars orbiting each other is called a binary system). With this in mind, let's figure out the total mass of both stars of a binary system. Observing the spectra of the two stars orbiting one another, we determine the orbital period of this set of example stars around the system's center of mass to be 0.25 years (1/4 of a year) and the separation of the two stars to be 0.75 AU (3/4 of an AU). With this information, what is the sum of the mass of these two example stars orbiting each other?arrow_forward25) To what size the Earth should shrink to become a black hole?arrow_forward
