Radial Velocity Curve
A graph of the velocity of recession or approach of the stars in a spectroscopic binary.
Radiation Pressure ...
radial velocity curve a plot of how an object's velocity along the line of sight changes over time. radiative zone the region of a star's interior where energy is transported outward with photons.
You can view the radial velocity curves, the spectrum and a top-down and earth-view of the system. It comes with recommended examples and instructions. If this site is busy try the mirror site at Melbourne University.
This allows deductions to be made about their orbital inclination, which must be nearly edge-on for the eclipse to occur. When combined with radial velocity curves and the mass function powerful constraints on the masses of the stellar components ...
Spectrograph (IRS) for the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) -- has developed interactive animations to model the impact of different stellar masses and orbital characteristics on the orbits of binary stars (including radial velocity curves ...
