6. For binary star system 4U-0115, the orbital period for each of the stars is 24.3 days and the distance between the stars is 0.28 AU. One of the stars is twice as massive as the other.
What is the mass of the smaller mass star in solar masses?

Spectra are taken of two stars in a binary system: Star A and
Star B. Every 1.56 days, the H? line in star A goes from 2.5 ?A
blueward of its rest (laboratory) wavelength to 2.5 ?A redward then
back to 2.5 ?A blueward. The H? line in star B also cycles through
shifts redward then blueward and back to redward with respect to
the rest (laboratory) wavelength of H? every 3.96 days but its
maximum deviation from the rest...

A binary star system consists of two stars, each of mass 2 *
10^30 ??. The initial positions of Star A and Star B are ?⃗?? =
〈−3, −4, 0〉 * 10^9 ? and ?⃗?? = 〈3, 4, 0〉 * 10^9 ? respectively.
The magnitude of the gravitational force that one star exerts on
another is about 2.7 * 10^30 N.
The initial velocity of Star B is ?⃗?? = 〈−6.5,4.9,0〉*10^4 ? ? .

Question 4: Alpha Centauri is a binary star system (the two
individual stars are called Alpha Centauri A and B) that is part of
a triple star system (the third star is Proxima Centauri). This is
the closest star system to the Sun. Alpha Centauri A and B are so
close that if they are viewed with the naked eye they are seen as
one star from the Earth. The absolute magnitude of Alpha Centauri A
is 4.4, while the...
