question 191

Multiple Choice

• A) The orbital plane of Centaurus X-3 is in the plane of the sky and therefore has no radial motion and no Doppler shift.
• B) Centaurus X-3 is too far away to see the Doppler shift easily.
• C) The orbital period of Centaurus X-3, 2087 days, suggests that it moves relatively slowly.
• D) The binary companion of Centaurus X-3 is a black hole that distorts the pattern of its radiation output.
