Using the "Vis-viva" equation (which can be derived from the total energy) v = GM What is the delta-V you would need to get from your current orbit, into an elliptical orbit that has an apoapsis near Titan (a = 1,221,870 km)?

Using high resolution adaptive optical techniques, observations of a nearby (9.5 pc) cool star of mass 0.2 solar masses indicate the presence of a small rocky exoplanet in a circular orbit with a radius of 0.01 arcseconds. Using Kepler's Laws, estimate the period of the exoplanet's orbit in days. select units A
9 The discovery of Eris A Was not surprising, because the existence of a massive "Planet X" had been predicted nearly a century ago. B Was surprising, due to its "backwards" orbit around the Sun. C Was surprising, since we thought we knew about all large objects in the solar system. Was not surprising, because other Kuiper belt objects approaching the size of Pluto had already been discovered. D
With the aid of a diagram, explain how the Doppler effect can be used to detect the pres- ence of an unseen planet around a nearby star. State how an astronomer can determine if the planet is on a circular or eccentric orbit.
Define the escape velocity and discuss the factors upon which it depends. Is it same or different for all planets in the Universe? Explain the reason
Kepler’s third law says that the orbital period (in years) is proportional to the square root of the cube of the mean distance (in AU) from the Sun (Pa1.5) . For mean distances from 0.1 to 32 AU, calculate and plot a curve showing the expected Keplerian period. For each planet in our solar system, look up the mean distance from the Sun in AU and the orbital period in years and overplot these data on the theoretical Keplerian curve.
Exoplanets in eccentric orbits experience large temperature swings during their orbits. Suppose you had to plan for a mission to such a planet. Based on Kepler’s second law, does the planet spend more time closer or farther from the star? Explain.
Why is Jupiter so much richer in hydrogen and helium than Earth?
Since 1995, hundreds of extrasolar planets have been discovered. There is the exciting possibility that there is life on one or more of these planets. To support life similar to that on the Earth, the planet must have liquid water. For an Earth-like planet orbiting a star like the Sun, this requirement means that the planet must be within a habitable zone of 0.9 AU to 1.4 AU from the star. The semimajor axis of an extrasolar planet is inferred from its period. What range in periods corresponds to the habitable zone for an Earth-like Planet orbiting a Sun-like star?
