A binary star consists of two stars A(mass 2.2 M_s) and B (mass 11 M_s) where M_s is the mass of the sun, they are separted by distane d and are rotating about their center of mass, which is stationary. The ratio of the total angular momentum of the binary to the angular momentum of star B about the centre of mass is

Many exoplanets have been discovered by the transit method, where is one monitors, a dip in the intensity of the parent star as the exoplanet moves in front of it. The exoplanet has a radius R and the parent star has radius 100 R. If I_0 is the intensity observed on earth due to the parent star, then as the exoplanet transits

A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star, the result of the gravitational collapse of an ordinary star that has used up its fuel supply. A certain pulsar has a rotational period of T=0.033 sec and radius R=1//38 km . The tangential speed of a point on the equator is "___________" (km//s)

A star 2.5 times the mass of the sun and collapsed to a size of the 12 km rotates with a speed of 1.5 rev.per second. (Extremely compact stars of this kind are known as neutron stars. Centain onserved steller objects called pulsars are believed to belong this category ). Will an object placed on its equator remain struck to its surface due to gravity ? (Mass of the sun = 2 xx 10^(30) kg) .
