Two-Body Systems
Two-Body Force
• A two-body system can be
defined with internal and
external forces.
– Center of mass R
– Equal external force
• Add to get the CM motion

Reduced Mass
• The internal forces are equal
and opposite.
• Express the equation in terms of
a reduced mass m.
– m less than either m1, m2
– m approximately equals the
smaller mass when the other is
large.

potential.

Central Motion
• Central motion takes place in a plane.
– Force, velocity, and radius are coplanar
• Orbital angular momentum is constant.
• If the central force is time-independent, the orbit is
symmetrical about an apse.
– Apse is where velocity is perpendicular to radius
Central Potential

from a potential.

• Elliptical orbits have stable
apses.
– Kepler’s first law
– Minimum and maximum
values of r
– Other orbits only have a
minimum

Star Systems
• Star systems can
involve both single
and multiple stars.
• Binary stars are a case
of a two-body central
force problem.
• Star systems within 10 Pc have
been cataloged by RECONS

Visual Binaries
• Visual binaries occur
when the centers are
separated by more than 1”.
– Atmospheric effects
• Apparent binaries occur
when two stars are near
the same coordinates but
not close in space.

• Kepler’s third law can be made
unitless compared to the sun.
– Mass in solar masses
– Period in years
– Semimajor axis in AU
• Semimajor axis depends on
knowing the distance and tilt.
• Separate masses come from
observing the center.
Spectroscopic Binaries

r2  vP / 2
a  r1  r2
M1  M 2  a3 / P 2
M1 / M 2  r2 / r1  v / V
• Binary systems that are too
close require spectroscopy.
– Doppler shifted lines
– Velocity measurements
Eclipsing Binaries
• An orbit inclination of
nearly 90° to the observer
produces an eclipsing
binary.
• Light levels are used to
measure period and radii.
