Our Sun is an approximate black body with a peak wavelength at approximately 500nm. If λ is the peak wavelength, then the absolute temperature (i.e., Kelvins) is related to λ by λT = k, where k is a constant. An object emits thermal (blackbody) radiation with a peak wavelength of 250nm. How does its temperature compare with the Sun?

	5 times colder than the Sun
	2 times colder than the Sun
	5 times hotter than the Sun
	The temperature is the same
	2 times hotter than the Sun

The distance to a star in parsecs is related to a planet's parallax angle, θ, by the formula, d = r/θ, where d is measured in parsecs, r is the radius of the planet's orbit in AU, and θ is the parallax angle in arcseconds. An orbiting satellite makes a circular orbit 5 AU from the Sun. It measures a parallax angle of 0.2 of an arcsecond (each way from the average position). What is the star's distance?

	25 parsecs
	5 parsecs
	50 parsecs
	1 parsec
	e) 10 parsecs

An orbiting satellite makes a circular orbit 5 AU from the Sun. It measures a parallax angle of 1 arcsecond (each way from the average position). What is the star's distance?

	25 parsecs
	5 parsecs
	50 parsecs
	1 parsec
	10 parsecs
