For Part 2, a radial velocity (RV) curve was generated by computer code and meant to look like real observations from the NEID instrument on the WIYN 3.5m telescope. As discussed in class, the "I" in WIYN stands for Indiana and this telescope is one of the main facilities astronomers at IU use to conduct research! The worksheet will pretend that Prof. Maas took this data to help frame the questions. A) Based on the data and RV model, what is the orbital period of the discovered exoplanet? In other words, how long does it take for this exoplanet to make one trip around its hosts star (in days)? [2 points] B) Based on the orbital period, do you think this is a hot Jupiter or resembles Jupiter from our solar system? Answer in a sentence or two. [2 points] C) What are two key exoplanet properties that make a hot Jupiter more easily detectable by the radial velocity method than an Earth-like planet at 1 AU? In other words, what properties of a hot Jupiter cause its host star to have larger "wobbles" (or radial velocity variations)? You can answer each property in a few words[ 4 points] Property 1: (Remove this text and write the property here) Property 2: (Remove this text and write the property here)
