- While working with part of a research team you discover a set of exoplanets in a nearby star system. One of the planets is much closer to its mother star than the other and because of this you are able to determine the average radius of the closer planets orbit to be 37.26 x 10 to the 6 kilometers the Planet complete one orbit every 53.4 days. a) what is the mass of the star in this system?1. Planet A has an orbital period of 12 years and radius that is 0.033 times the radius of the star. Calculate the fractional dip of the star brightness in the case that planet A is transiting. Give the answer as a number. Quote the formula you use and explain any assumptions you have to make. 2. Planet B has an orbital period of 1 year and is located closer to its star than planet A. You succeed in detecting planet B with the radial velocity technique as well! From this measurement you calculate a minimum mass of planet B to be 75% that of the Earth. (a) Since you detect the planet with both transit method and radial velocity method, what do you know about the inclination of the planetary system? (b) Given this inclination, estimate the true mass of planet B (in units of Earth mass). You do not need to do a detailed calculation, just explain the argument. 3. You also measure the radius of planet B to be the same as Earth, one Earth radius. (a) How does the density of planet B compare…1. Consider our Sun - it is in orbit around the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. The velocity of the Sun in its orbit is about 250 km/s. The distance to the center of the galaxy is about 9.1 kpc (kiloparsecs). We can use Kepler's third law to calculate the mass of the galaxy interior to the Sun's orbit. We assume that the orbit is circular so that the semimajor axis is just the radius of the circular orbit = 9.1 kpc. First we need to calculate the number of AU's in 9.1 kpc. (Note that 1 Крс - 1000 рс - 3260 1t yrs and 1 pc - 206,265 AU.) %3D a =r =9.1kpc = (9.1kpc) 1000 pc 206,265AU] 1kpc AU Sun 1pc

Find the radius of the white dwarf in km to three significant digits.

For mean distances from 0.1 to 32 AU, calculate and plot a curve showing the expected Keplerian period. For each planet in our solar system, look up the mean distance from the Sun in AU and the orbital period in years and overplot these data on the theoretical Keplerian curve.
- One way to recognize a distant planet is by its motion along its orbit. If Uranus circles the Sun in 84 years, how many arc seconds will it move in 24 hours? (For the purposes of this problem, ignore the motion of Earth.)Since 1995, hundreds of extrasolar planets have been discovered. There is the exciting possibility that there is life on one or more of these planets. To support life similar to that on the Earth, the planet must have liquid water. For an Earth-like planet orbiting a star like the Sun, this requirement means that the planet must be within a habitable zone of 0.9 AU to 1.4 AU from the star. The semimajor axis of an extrasolar planet is inferred from its period. What range in periods corresponds to the habitable zone for an Earth-like Planet orbiting a Sun-like star?Suppose you're in a circular orbit around Saturn (M = 5.683 x 1026 kg) with a semi-major axis of a = 237,948 km. a. What is your orbital velocity? b. Using the "Vis-viva" equation (which can be derived from the total energy) v = GM What is the delta-V you would need to get from your current orbit, into an elliptical orbit that has an apoapsis near Titan (a = 1,221,870 km)?
- 2. Over several months an astronomer observes an exoplanet orbiting a distant star at a distance of 5.934 AU. Its orbit period was projected to be 3.875 years.
