The amount that the light from a star in an extrasolar planet system will be Dop

Question

The amount that the light from a star in an extrasolar planet system will be Doppler shifted depends on the mass of the star Mstar, the mass of the planet mplanet, and the distance d between the staar and the planet.

(a) Which extrasolar planet system(s) (A-D) has the highest mass planet?

(b) In which extrasolar plaent system(s) (A-D) is the planet closest to the star?

(c) Which extrasolar planet system(s) (A-D) has the lowest mass star?

(d) Which system (A-D) has the extrasolar planet that is easiest to detect from Earth? Explain your reasoning.
