Imagine two planets orbiting a star with orbits edge-on to theEarth. The peak Doppler shift for each 75 m/s, but one has a periodof 7 days and the other has a period of 700 days. The star has amass of one solar mass. Assume 1 solar mass equals 2∗10^30.
1.) Calculate the mass of the shorter period planet.(Hint: See Mathematical Insight Finding Masses ofExtrasolar Planets)
2.) Calculate the mass of the longer period planet.
