Binary Stars Q1) A binary star system has a distance from Earth of 42.2 light years. The distance between the stars is 1.08 x 101 m and the rotation period is 104 days. Assume equal masses of the stars, and circular orbits (centre of mass of the system is at rest relative to the Earth). a) Calculate the speed of the stars relative to the centre of mass of the system. Further assume the...

Plaskett's binary system consists of two stars that revolve in a circular orbit about a center of mass midway between them. This statement implies that the masses of the two stars are equal (see figure below). Assume the orbital speed of each star is |v vector| = 170 km/s and the orbital period of each is 14.5 days. Find the mass M of each star. (For comparison, the mass of our Sun is 1.99 times 10^30 kg.) 1.02e-9 If you...

A certain binary star system consists of two stars with masses m1 and m2, separated by a distance b. A comet, originally nearly at rest in deep space, drops into the system and at a certain point in time arrives at the midpoint between the two stars. For that moment in time, find its velocity, v, symbolically in terms of b, m1, m2, and fundamental constants. p

4) A binary star system consists of two stars, one of which is 1 solar mass and one of which is 2 solar masses. They are separated by a distance of 5 astronomical units and have approximately circular orbits. a) What is the orbital period of each star? b) What is the orbital velocity of each star? c) What is the angular momentum of the two star system, assuming that each star's radius is much smaller than its orbital radius?

Plaskett's binary system consists of two stars that revolve In a circular orbit about a center of mass midway between them. This statement implies that the masses of the two stars are equal (see figure below). Assume the orbital speed of each star is |v | = 240 km/s and the orbital period of each is 12.5 days. Find the mass M of each star. (For comparison, the mass of our Sun is 1.99 times 1030 kg Your answer...

The spectral lines of two stars in a particular eclipsing binary system shift back and forth with a period of 10 months. The lines of both stars shift by equal amounts, and the amount of the Doppler shift indicates that each star has an orbital speed of 105 m/s. What are the masses of the two stars? Assume that each of the two stars traces a circular orbit around their center of mass.

A binary star system has two stars, each with the same mass as our sun, separated by 1.50×1012 m . A comet is very far away and essentially at rest. Slowly but surely, gravity pulls the comet toward the stars. Suppose the comet travels along a straight line that passes through the midpoint between the two stars. What is the speed at the comet's midpoint?

The spectral lines of two stars in a particular eclipsing binary system shift back and forth with a period of 6 months. The lines of both stars shift by equal amounts, and the amount of the Doppler shift indicates that each star has an orbital speed of 1.2×105 m/s relative to the other. What are the masses of the two stars? Assume that each of the two stars traces a circular orbit around their center of mass. (Hint: See Mathematical...
