The analysis of those observations, along with measurements of
orbital periods over the next few years, could help recurrent novae beat rival candidates for the role of true type 1a progenitors.
The observed shift in the Hulse - Taylor binary's
orbital period over time as it loses energy to gravitational - wave emission.
Not exact matches
The orbit of an Earth - like planet (with liquid water) around close - orbiting Stars A and B may be centered as close as 1.06 AU — between the
orbital distances of Earth and Mars in the Solar System — with an
orbital period of
over 384 days (1.05 years).
In any case, the orbit of an Earth - like planet (with liquid water) around Zeta2 would have to be centered at around one AU — the
orbital distance Earth in the Solar System — with an
orbital period of just
over a year.
Assuming that 15 Sge has a mass equal to Sol's, then such a planet would have an
orbital period of about 450 days, or just
over 1.2 years.
At that distance from Epsilon Indi and assuming that it has 0.77 Solar - mass, such a planet would have an
orbital period of around 199 days (or a bit
over half an Earth year).
However, if the existence of a relatively close, second companion (see Star Bc below) around Bab — with an
orbital period of 2.2 to 2.9 years or less — is confirmed, then a planetary orbit in Star Ba's water zone may not be stable
over the long run.
We know that it has an
orbital period of a little
over 11 days (yes, a «year» on Proxima b is only 11 days).
Based on its visual luminosity, a planet may be able to hold water on its surface around 0.057 AU of GJ 1214, with an
orbital period slightly
over 12.6 days.
Note that
orbital forcing
over the
periods covered by these
periods is made up of monotonic trends.
[Response: Similar to your first point — coherent statistics
over time
periods, robust patterns of teleconnections, process by process similarities, coherent emergent properties, quantitative matches in response to large perturbations (volcanoes,
orbital forcing, continental configurations etc.).
The authors found that consistent with previous research, changes in solar and volcanic activity, land cover, and incoming solar radiation due to the Earth's
orbital cycles were the main contributors to the cooling between the MWP and LIA (the years 900 — 1600), and probably also caused the cooling
over the full 2,000 - year
period.
Peak insolation from
orbital forcing will be significantly lower
over the next century than what the Earth received during the peak warm
period around 126,000 years ago.
8 Changes in Revolution, Rotation, and Tilt (Page 271)
Over a
period of about 100,000 years, the
orbital path of Earth changes from nearly circular to elliptical and back again.
The drivers of climate
over this
period are chiefly
orbital, solar, volcanic, changes in land use / land cover and some variation in greenhouse gas levels.
