Question

123 Binary Stars 7) Imagine that you are watching a binary star system chtas they eaomntar. And I type main sequence star and a B-spectral type main sequence sta orbit. During this time, you are able to see the starst of the M-S mvedstars At another time, you see the B-spectral type star in at an entirely different time, you see that the B-spectretches showing M-spectral type star. In the space below, draw three would look like at the three times described. each complete one full from one another time, you see that the B-spectral type star moved behind the has 8) At which of the times to you? Explain your reasoning. you drew would you measure the greatest amount of light coming 9) At which of the times you drew would you measure the you? Explain your reasoning. least amount of light coming to 10) Two students are talking about how the light curve would appear when observing the eclipsing binary star system described in Question 7. Student 1: I think the dip in the graph is deepest when the blue star passes in front of the red star. Since the blue star is so much bigger, it will block off all light from the red star. of the Student 2: I disagree, a hot star emits way more light from each part of its surface than a cold star does. So I think the deepest dip will happen when the cold star blocks the light from the hot star. Do you agree or disagree with either or both of the students? Explain your reasoning
