In 2004 astronomers reported the discovery of a large Jupiter-sized planet orbiting very
close to the star HD 179949 (hence the term "hot Jupiter"). The orbit was just 1/9 the
distance of Mercury from our Sun, and it takes the planet only 3.09 days to make one orbit
(assumed to be circular).
a. What is the mass of the star? Express your answer in kilograms and as a multiple of
our Sun's mass.
b. How fast (in km/s) is this planet moving?

- 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.
