The parallax of Reiltas has been measured to be 0.285 arcseconds.
- What is the distance to Reiltas in parsecs? in light-years?
- Suppose Reiltas' parallax was re-measured by the new Satellite for Parallax Accuracy Measurements (SPAM) to be 0.275 arcseconds. Is Reiltas closer or farther than previously determined? Explain your reasoning.
Homework Answers
D(In parsec) = 1/
(in
arcsecond)
a) distance = 1/0.285 = 3.5087 parsec
in light year = 3.5087*3.26156 = 11.443 light year
b) at 0.275 arcseconds
D = 1/0.275 = 3.6363parsec =3.6363*3.26156 = 11.86 light year
so it is farther than previously determined distance

1. [5 marks] Betelgeuse (α Orionis) has been carefully examined using interferometry. In fact, in 1920 it became the first star (aside from the Sun) to have its angular size measured. A recent measurement put the value at 54.7 milliarcseconds. According to data from the Hipparcos satellite, its parallax is 5.07 milliarcseconds. This star is a red supergiant.

laser light is emitted from the earth, reflects off the moon and
returns. If it takes 2.56s to complete this journey what is the
distance from the earth to the moon? (b) The laser is then made to
scan across the surface of the moon creating a spot that...

There has been a great deal of controversy over the last several years regarding what types of surveillance are appropriate to prevent terrorism. Suppose a particular surveillance system has a 98% chance of correctly identifying a future terrorist and a 99.8% chance of correctly identifying someone who is not a future terrorist. If there are 1,000 future terrorists in a population of 200 million, and one of these 200 million is randomly selected, scrutinized by the system, and identified as...
