You record the spectrum of a distant star using a telescope on the ground on Earth. Upon
analysing the spectrum, you discover absorption lines spaced at intervals typical of oxygen
atoms. Which of the following are possible interpretations of this evidence? Select all that
apply.
The width of the spectral lines gives the diameter of the star
The star is likely orbited by habitable planets with breathable atmospheres.
The height of the spectral lines above the star's general blackbody spectral curve tells us how much
oxygen is in the star
The atmosphere of Earth contains oxygen
The red or blueshift of the set of lines can tell us the speed of the star's motion toward or away from us
Please help me with this. No long answers, plz just get straight to the point and briefly explain why. Also make sure to use the information from the table and not the internet as they are different. Thanks
Consider the figure below:
X
a) Write a one-line figure caption appropriate for the figure
b) In paragraph form, write a complete description of the figure: what is plotted in
the figure (aim to give as full an answer as you can): what features are seen, what
information does the figure give...
