Question:

For the previous planet and star (with a luminosity = 0.041 solar luminosity), assuming a
circular orbit, what would be the distance from the star such that the planet’s surface
temperature is 280 K (no atmosphere or greenhouse effect to worry about)? What are the
orbital period and circular velocity of the planet? What is the circular velocity of the star (in
m/s) that would be measured with the Doppler shif

a) At what distance from a 2 solar mass neutron star would a planet like the Earth be tidally disrupted (that is, literally pulled apart)? That is, how close would the planet need to be to the NS for the difference between the NS’s gravity at the center of the planet and at the surface of the planet to be greater than the gravity holding the planet together? b) Would the asteroid Pallas be able to get any closer? (Pallas...

Problem 4. Consider a simple solar system that contains one star (mass M) and one planet (mass m) in a circular orbit with radius r. The planet orbits at speed v. (v can be computed in terms of G, M, m, and r using Kepler’s 3rd Law and/or Newton’s Law of Gravitation.) Due to conservation of momentum, as the planet changes its velocity vector, the star’s velocity vector will also change. Astronomers can detect a star’s changing velocity from its...

A certain red giant star has a luminosity of 100,000 times that of the Sun and is located 600 light-years from Earth. If the apparent magnitude of the star is observed to be m=0, calculate the rate of interstellar extinction in the direction of the star. If someone could show me step by step how to solve this I would be appreciative.

A mystery planet and its moon are found revolving around a nearby star. The star is a K3 Main Sequence star with a mass of approximately 0.8 M☉ and a radius of 0.78 R☉. The planet is believed to be terrestrial (Earth-like, and therefore of a similar density) and has an observed orbital period of 243 days. The moon orbits the planet every 13.2 hours with an average orbital radius of 19,600 km. Using this information, find: (a)the orbital radius...

For a relatively weak gravitational field, such as that of a planet or an ordinary star, the following formula tells us the fractional amount of gravitational time dilation at a distance r from the center of an object of mass Mobject: 1c2×GMobjectr (G=6.67×10?11m3/(kg×s2); c=3×108m/s.) For example, while 1 hour passes in deep space far from the object, the amount of time that passes at a distance r is 1 hour minus 1 hour multiplied by the factor above. (This formula...
