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 Insight Measuring Stellar Masses.)

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...

Plaskett's binary system consists of two stars that revolve in circular orbits around a fixed point half-way between them. This means that the masses of the two stars are equal (see the figure below). --- M If the orbital velocity of each star is v= 188 km/s and the orbital period of each is 11.7 days, calculate the mass Mof each star.

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?

In a particular binary star system, only one star is visible because the other star is too faint to see at that distance. An astronomer measures the size (semimajor axis) and period of the orbit of the visible star. From this information the astronomer can calculate nothing about the mass—both stars have to be visible to do so. the mass of each star. the sum of the masses of the two stars but not the mass of each star separately....
