For this activity, you will need to use the radial velocity and transit simulators that are part of the NAAP Labs software package (under the heading Extrasolar Planets). This is the software you downloaded from Canvas earlier this semester. Before you begin the activity, download the QonoS Observations file from Canvas. Instructions The star QonoS shines most brightly at 415 nanometers. Use Wiens Law to calculate the stars surface temperature. In this equation the peak wavelength is in nanometers and the surface temperature is in kelvin.(peak)(T)=2,900,0001. What is the surface temperature of QonoS?Open the NAAP Radial Velocity simulator. Set the inclination and longitude of the system to 90 and 45 degrees, respectively. Then, slide the stellar mass bar until the stars description matches the temperature you just calculated.2. What is the spectral type, mass, and radius of the star QonoS?The radial velocity and transit data provided both indicate the presence of an exoplanet in this system; astronomers have named it Praxis.3. Based on the radial velocity data for QonoS, what is the orbital period of Praxis?Slide the semi-major axis bar in the simulator until the system period matches what you determined for Praxis. You can be more precise by typing values into the semi-major axis text box.

The diagram below shows a solar system model. Picture shows Earth at the center with seven circular orbits around it. The first orbit around Earth has the moon and the fourth orbit around Earth has the sun. All the other orbits have small planets on small circular orbits. The model was proposed by Claudius Ptolemy Nicolaus Copernicus Johannes Kepler Sir Isaac Newton

geologist is studying two different Basaltic flows to determine if they were erupted at the same time. (a) Basalt #1 has 50% of the Parent Isotope Fremaining. (b) Basalt #2 has 75% Daughter G and 25% Parent F. (c) If parent Isotope F has a half-life of 100 million years. How old is Basalt #1 and Basalt #2 - Basalt # 1 is 50 million years; Basalt #2 is 100 million years - Basalt # 1 is 0.5 million years; Basalt #2 is 1 million years - Basalt # 1 is 100 million years; Basalt #2 is 200 million years - Basalt # 1 is 50 million years; Basalt #2 is 75 million years

with the current configuration of earth's continents, global atmospheric co2 peaks in late april. imagine that all of earth's land mass was instead bunched together with equal areas above and below the equator. assume that seasonal patterns of growth and respiration are otherwise the same, with summer occurring june-august in the northern hemisphere and december-february in the southern hemisphere. How will this new configuration affect seasonal swings in average global CO2? a) Seasonal swings would be larger, but CO2 would still peak in late April. b) Seasonal swings would be a little smaller, but CO2 would now peak in late August. c) Seasonal swings would be larger, but CO2 would now peak in late August. d) Seasonal swings would be much smaller, perhaps even undetectable.
