14-use-the-stellar-parallax-equation-mathrm-d-1-mathrm-p-to-calculate-the-distances-pa119
(Solved): 14) Use the stellar parallax equation \( (\mathrm{D}=1 / \mathrm{p}) \) to calculate the distances ...
14) Use the stellar parallax equation \( (\mathrm{D}=1 / \mathrm{p}) \) to calculate the distances to the 10 nearest and 10 brightest stars in the Excel file. From the list below, select the Excel formula you should use (for the first star). \( 1 / C 3 \) C3/D3 1/D3 D3/C3
15) Next convert all 20 stars' distances from parsecs to light-years using a formula. From the list below, select the Excel formula you used for the first star. D3/3.26 D3*3.26 \( \mathrm{D} 3+3.26 \) \( 5^{+} \operatorname{LOG} 10(\mathrm{D} 3)+3.26 \)
16) Examine the distances to all 20 stars. Which star is most distant from us?
