- The intensity of light from a central source varies inversely as the square of the distance.

- The figure above shows the light-curve obtained from continuous monitoring of the flux received from a star. Assuming that the dips arise because a planet orbiting the star passes between it and the observer once per orbit, estimate the orbital period (in days), the orbital semi-major axis (in Astronomical Units), and the physical radius of the planet (in units of the Earth’s radius). The star has a mass of 1.47 M⊙ and a radius of 1.84 R⊙.arrow_forward3) An asteroid (with negligible escape speed) is discovered in a circular orbit 0.26 AU from the Sun. If you launched a rocket from Earth to it on a minimum energy orbit, how long would it take to get there (in years), what would be the relative speed be at close encounter and what would the Earth-asteroid distance be when the spacecraft arrived (in AU)? What was the launch speed from Earth (in km/s)?arrow_forwardThe answer is incorrect, would there be another way for figuring this out? Thank you.arrow_forward

Specifi cally, measurements of the 656-nm line in hydrogen taken from opposite sides on the sun’s equator—one side approaching Earth and the other receding—differ from each other by 0.0090 nm. Use this information to fi nd the rotational period of the sun’s equator. Express your answer in days.

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? (remember that 1 pc = 3.26 lt yr) D (in light…arrow_forward
