Bootes is a double star system whose components are separated by 2.9 arcsec. Calculate the linear separation of the images on the primary mirror focal pane of the NTT.
Note that here we used the fact that the diameter of new technology telescope(NTT) is 3.58 m which is not given in the question but this is its usual length. Using this we can calculate the focal length. From the value of focal length and using small angle approximation , we can calculate the linear separation.

Ignoring atmospheric seeing, whatwould be the diameter (in meters) required for a single telescope to resolve an image of this black hole in the near-infrared (wavelength = 1 micrometer)?Two stars-A and B, of luminosities 0.5 and 4.5 times the observed to have the luminosity of the Sun, respectively-are same apparent brightness. Which star is more distant, and how much farther away is it than the other?A star with a trigonometric parallax of .02 arcseconds has a distance of O2.0 light years. 50 pc. 4 kpc. 20 pc. O need more information (magnitudes)
