“Perfect” Thermal/Planck/Blackbody Radiation Temperature “Perfect” Spectral Line Radiation Material Composition Q: How can we use Light to detect Motion…?
“Doppler Shifts”…for Sound
“Doppler Shifts”…for Light
Stellar Companions… “Binary / (Multiple) Stars” “Visual Binaries” (not mere “Optical Double Stars”) are very convenient… but what if you can’t separate them?
A “Spectroscopic Binary” Star System
Detecting Planets in Other Solar Systems… “Direct Imaging”…? (Possible but Very Difficult!)
Q: How to detect dim “Extrasolar Planets” (“Exoplanets”)? A: Use Newton’s Third Law! (“Action-Reaction”… i.e., “Force-Counterforce”)
Other Exoplanet Detection Methods (e.g., the Transit Method)
