There are two parts to this question. I need to know how many times fainter Venus is from a distance of 6 pc and what the apparent magnitude would be as well! Thank you!!
Time
From this light curve, we can deduce that...
O the star has a high mass exoplanet orbiting it
O the star has an exoplanet orbiting it that has an eccentric orbit
O the star has an exoplanet orbiting it that has an eccentric orbit
O the star has an exoplanet that is not on the same orbital plane as the star
L
Brightness
The figure below shows the radial velocity of a star plotted as a function of time over the course of 20 days. Where is the planet in its orbit around the star when the star's radial velocity is 18 km/s?
How do I determine this?
