... The fit to the radial-velocities gives a reduced χ2r = 0.75 ± 0.17, suggesting we may have overestimated our error bars on the measurements. The largest contribution to the χ2 comes from the second point in the HARPS Rossiter-McLaughlin series, likely affected by high seeing. No eccentricity can be d ...

... 6. A star is five times as luminous as the Sun and has a surface temperature of 98,000 K. What is its radius, compared to that of the Sun? Again, this is a Stefan-Boltzmann problem (luminosity, radius and temperature) that will be most easily solved using a ratio approach. See the first problem to r ...
