Title: How do I calculate transverse velocity and magnitude? Post by: rjandmj82 on Nov 15, 2012 A star lying 45 pc from the Sun has proper motion of 0.2 "/yr. What is the star's transverse velocity? If the star's spectral lines are observed to be redshifted by 0.02 percent, calculate the magnitude of its three-dimensional velocity relative to the Sun.
Thanks in advance! Stuck on this in my Astronomy assignment. Title: How do I calculate transverse velocity and magnitude? Post by: bugmenomore on Nov 15, 2012 Content hidden
