You have three attempts on this quiz. Only your highest score will be kept. Note that the questions may change between attempts. Specific Learning Goals: 1. Describe the observable properties of exoplanets and how they are measured. 2. Describe how extrasolar planetary systems compare with our solar system. [ Question 1 1pts With a very accurate spectrometer you graph the doppler shift of lines in a star's spectrum as they move back and forth revealing the orbit of a single exoplanet around this star. Given the figure below, with the black filled circle marking the current radial velocity of the star's lines, at which of the positions is the planet currently located? Note the arrow indicating the direction toward Earth, from where you are observing this star. s Orbit of planet oe Remember, blue is towards you, red is away. Question 2 1pts Graphs of radial velocity as a function of time are shown for four stars with exoplanets. Assume that the stars are identical and are orbited by identical planets. For which case would you expect the planet to be orbiting closest to the star? 8ol N\A Ext B £ £ 2 2 4 ) 10 15 20 25 -20 -20 Time (years) s Time (years) - £ g £20 C £20 D £ \//\ £ /\\//\\9’ s 2/ 4\e/ 8\ 2 /6 \&/12 20 N Time 1y=-sbv 720 Time (years) S 8 D ®A ( Question 3 1pts Below are drawings of three different exoplanet orbits. The masses of the planets and stars are provided along with the distance between them. Which star has the most redshifted spectrum (i.e. largest velocity)? Recall that the orbital velocity of a planet around a star is proportional to the square root of the star's mass divided by the orbital distance of the planet: V' = 1/ s A/ C..-- 3 " W T My ‘\\\ Naaae? @8 A Fall 2023 all have the same redshift Home c Syllabus Announcements Assignments Grades [«] Modules Use this light curve of a star with a transiting exoplanet to answer the following questions.
