  • Mathematics 3–4
    Mathematics 3{4 Mathematics Department Phillips Exeter Academy Exeter, NH July 2020 To the Student Contents: Members of the PEA Mathematics Department have written the material in this book. As you work through it, you will discover that algebra, geometry, and trigonometry have been integrated into a mathematical whole. There is no Chapter 5, nor is there a section on tangents to circles. The curriculum is problem-centered, rather than topic-centered. Techniques and theorems will become apparent as you work through the problems, and you will need to keep appropriate notes for your records | there are no boxes containing important theorems. There is no index as such, but the reference section that starts on page 101 should help you recall the meanings of key words that are defined in the problems (where they usually appear italicized). Problem solving: Approach each problem as an exploration. Reading each question care- fully is essential, especially since definitions, highlighted in italics, are routinely inserted into the problem texts. It is important to make accurate diagrams. Here are a few useful strategies to keep in mind: create an easier problem, use the guess-and-check technique as a starting point, work backwards, recall work on a similar problem. It is important that you work on each problem when assigned, since the questions you may have about a problem will likely motivate class discussion the next day. Problem solving requires persistence as much as it requires ingenuity. When you get stuck, or solve a problem incorrectly, back up and start over. Keep in mind that you're probably not the only one who is stuck, and that may even include your teacher.

The small size of the host star—only slightly larger than are referred to as ‘ultracool dwarfs’1. This heterogeneous group Jupiter—translates into Earth-like radii for the three discovered planets, includes stars of extremely low mass as well as brown dwarfs as deduced from their transit depths. Table 1 presents the physical (substellar objects not massive enough to sustain hydrogen fusion), properties of the system, as derived through a global Bayesian analysis and represents about 15 per cent of the population of astronomical of the transit photometry (Fig. 1), including the a priori knowledge objects near the Sun2. Core-accretion theory predicts that, given of its stellar properties, with an adaptive Markov chain Monte Carlo the small masses of these ultracool dwarfs, and the small sizes of (MCMC) code14. their protoplanetary disks3,4, there should be a large but hitherto We can discard a non-planetary origin of the transit-like signals undetected population of terrestrial planets orbiting them5— owing to several factors. The first factor is the high proper motion ranging from metal-rich Mercury-sized planets6 to more hospitable of the star (greater than 1″ per year), which allowed confirmation volatile-rich Earth-sized planets7.

  • Number of Potentially Habitable Planets
    universe Article Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Number of Potentially Habitable Planets McCullen Sandora 1,2 1 Institute of Cosmology, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Tufts University, Medford, MA 02155, USA; [email protected] 2 Center for Particle Cosmology, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA Received: 14 May 2019; Accepted: 21 June 2019; Published: 25 June 2019 Abstract: How good is our universe at making habitable planets? The answer to this depends on which factors are important for life: Does a planet need to be Earth mass? Does it need to be inside the temperate zone? are systems with hot Jupiters habitable? Here, we adopt different stances on the importance of each of these criteria to determine their effects on the probabilities of measuring the observed values of several physical constants. We find that the presence of planets is a generic feature throughout the multiverse, and for the most part conditioning on their particular properties does not alter our conclusions much. We find conflict with multiverse expectations if planetary size is important and it is found to be uncorrelated with stellar mass, or the mass distribution is too steep. The existence of a temperate circumstellar zone places tight lower bounds on the fine structure constant and electron to proton mass ratio. Keywords: multiverse; habitability; planets 1. Introduction This paper is a continuation of [1], which aims to use our current understanding from a variety of disciplines to estimate the number of observers in a universe Nobs, and track how this depends on the most important microphysical quantities such as the fine structure constant a “ e2{p4pq, the ratio of the electron to proton mass b “ me{mp, and the ratio of the proton mass to the Planck mass g “ mp{Mpl.

Visser, TU Delft, Controls and Simulations This thesis is confidential and cannot be made public until March 28, 2020 An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/. ii Abstract With the onset of the age of space travel, asteroid missions have been steadily gaining interest. The pristine nature of asteroids due to their preserved state since the formation of the Solar System is an opportunity to unravel many mysteries about the Solar System. Also with the ever-growing need for resources, asteroids prove to be a plentiful source. With the discovery of asteroids in the close vicinity of our planet and a probable threat to the preservation of life, a need for defence missions has also arisen. With many successful missions like NEAR to Eros, Rosetta to Comet 67P,Hayabusa to Itokawa, Hayabusa 2 to Ryugu, OSIRIS-REx to Bennu, etc., the requirement of precise navigation with autonomous guidance and control for future missions has been established.

At least seven plan- also removes smear and dark noise (see Methods). Because of its ets similar in radius to Earth were previously found to transit two failed reaction wheels, the rolling motion of the Kepler space- this host star2. Subsequently, TRAPPIST-1 was observed as craft due to torque imbalances introduces strong instrumental sig- part of the K2 mission and, with these new data, we report nals, leading to an increase in photometric noise by a factor of about the measurement of an 18.77 day orbital period for the outer- three to five compared with the original mission. As TRAPPIST-1 is most transiting planet, TRAPPIST-1 h, which was previously a faint M8 dwarf with Kepler magnitude Kp ≈​ 16–17 (see Methods), unconstrained. This value matches our theoretical expecta- these instrumental signals must be carefully removed to reach the tions based on Laplace relations3 and places TRAPPIST-1 h ~0.1% relative photometric precision required to detect Earth-size as the seventh member of a complex chain, with three-body transits6.

  • Unusual Polarimetric Properties of (101955) Bennu: Similarities with F-Class Asteroids and Cometary Bodies
    Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 000, 1{5 (2018) Printed 24 August 2018 (MN LATEX style file v2.2) Unusual polarimetric properties of (101955) Bennu: similarities with F-class asteroids and cometary bodies A. Cellino1, S.

Karazin Kharkiv National University, Sumska Str. 35, Kharkiv 61022, Ukraine. E-mail: [email protected] Accepted 2018 August 23. Received 2018 August 10; in original form 2018 July 15 ABSTRACT We have obtained polarimetric measurements of asteroid (101955) Bennu, a presum- ably primitive near-Earth object (NEO) that is the target of NASA's sample return mission OSIRIS-REx. During our observing campaign, Bennu was visible from Earth under a wide range of illumination conditions, with phase-angle in the range 16◦ to 57◦. Together with (3200) Phaethon and (152679) 1998 KU2, observed very recently, Bennu is the only existing example of a primitive NEO observed in polarimetric mode over a wide interval of phase angles. Based on our polarimetric data, we propose that Bennu belongs to the unusual F taxonomic class defined in the 80s. According to pre- vious works, the F-class includes objects with cometary features. This fact can be of great importance for the interpretation of the results of the exploration of this object by OSIRIS-REx. From polarimetry we also derive an estimate of the geometric albedo of Bennu: pR = 0:059 ± 0:003.
