The orbits are assumed to be circular for simplicity, as this tool is intended for an introductory course in Astronomy rather than an Astrophysics course in which one would consider elliptical orbits and views other than top-down or edge-on. This tool also simulates the radial velocity curve for the two stars of the system assuming a direct edge-on view. Users may edit the masses of t...
