Binary System

simulating a binary system

AIM

STAGE 1: Simulate the trajectory of a binary system

• INPUT: m1, m2, orbital_period
• p1(r,theta,pi), p2(r, theta, phi)
• function to update the positions
• How long to run the coordinates
• We need to store the coordinates

STAGE 2: Spectroscopic binary Use change in redshift to simulate the orbit.

STAGE 3: Eclipsing binary orbit from light curve
