Question

The most eccentric planet, HD 20782 b, has been identified in the constellation of Fornax, orbiting its parent star. HD 20782 b has an orbital eccentricity of 0.96, with a semi-major axis of 2.03 × 10⁸ km. Calculate (i) the distance of HD 20782 b from its parent star at the farthest point (d_max) ii) the distance between HD 20782 b and its parent star at its closest approach (d_min).

Accepted Answer

i) d_max = 3.98 × 10⁸ km ii) d_min = 8.12 × 10⁶ km

Answer

i) d_max = 3.98 × 10⁸ km ii) d_min = 1.01 × 10⁸ km

Answer

i) d_max = 1.94 × 10⁸ km ii) d_min = 8.12 × 10⁶ km

Answer

i) d_max = 1.94 × 10⁸ km ii) d_min = 1.01 × 10⁸ km
