Betelgeuse How can the mass of stars be determined by observing binary-star systems? If the distance to a visual binary is known, the semi-major axis of its orbit can be determined directly, by simple geometry. For spectroscopic binaries, it is not possible to determine the semi—major axis directly. Doppler—shift measurements give us information on the orbital velocities of the member stars, but only on their radial components. As a result, we cannot determine the inclination of the orbit to our line of sight, and this imposes a limitation on how much information we can obtain _____9. Which of the following has the outer objects of the Orion Group in the correct sequence? A. Procyon – Sirius – Pollux – Capella – Castor – Pleiades B. Sirius – Castor – Pollux – Capella – Procyon – Pleiades C. Sirius – Procyon – Pollux – Castor – Capella – Pleiades D. Capella – Procyon – Pollux – Castor – Pleiades – Sirius Moving counter-clockwise (northern hemisphere perspective!) list the seven stars (and one star cluster) that comprise the “halo” above Orion. Sirius (A1, -1.46) Procyon (F5, 0.34) Pollux (K0, 1.14) Castor (A1, 1.93) Capella (G8, K0, G1; 0.91, 0.76, 0.08 Capella is actually four stars: two binary pairs, orbiting each other!) Pleiades star cluster (aka “Seven Sisters” …aka the Subaru logo) Aldebaran (K5, 0.8) Draw and label the constellation Orion (use the other side of this sheet). Label all seven stars, and the one non-star!
