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.

- The typical core-collapse supernova has an energy budget of about 1046 J. This energy comes from the gravitational potential energy of an inner core with mass Mic, which collapses from an initial radius of 5 x 106 m down to the final radius of 50 km. Estimate Mic, in solar masses, for this to be a realistic energy source of the core-collapse supernova. You may assume that the density before the collapse is uniform. Discuss briefly how a Type la supernova is different from a core-collapse supernova from a massive star?arrow_forwardMany galaxies appear to have supermassive black holes in their centers powering active galactic nuclei (also called AGN). The Schwarzschild radius of these supermassive black holes can be estimated in part by watching for changes in the brightness of the surrounding AGN and measuring the timescale of those changes. Assume we observe an AGN and determine it varies with a timescale of 9.85 minutes, which implies a Schwarzschild radius on the order of 1.77x1011 meters.

- *39 Will the universe continue to expand forever? To attack this question, assume that the theory of dark energy is in error and that the recessional speed v of a galaxy a distance r from us is determined only by the gravitational interaction of the matter that lies inside a sphere of radius r centered on us. If the total mass inside this sphere is M, the escape speed v, from the sphere is v. = V2GMIT (Eq. 13-28). (a) Show that to prevent unlimited expansion, the aver- age density p inside the sphere must be at least equal to ЗН 87G (b) Evaluate this "critical density" numerically; express your an- swer in terms of hydrogen atoms per cubic meter. Measurements of the actual density are difficult and are complicated by the pres- ence of dark matter.arrow_forwarda) Determine the wavelength of light (6563A) observed by a distant observer that is emitted by a source at rest: i) at a radius of r = 2.2M outside a black hole of mass M = 1 Ma. ii) where = -6x 10-5.arrow_forwardA star with mass m, period Ti = 30 days, and radius ri = 1E4 km collapses into a neutron star (Links to an external site.) with a radius of rf = 3 km.

What is the rotation rate ωi of the star before collapsing? 3. Suppose we model the star as a solid sphere of radius ri with moment of inertia 2/5mri2 (a good assumption).
