Some things to get straight
This is not an addon yet but could probably be converted
I know the process is complex
I know the math is also hard
and please don't tell me not to even try
Methods i am thinking of using
Method 1: starting with known mass (M) and acceleration (A) of a wobbling star, use the equation (F=M*A) to find the force(F) being exerted on the star. Then plug the known factor of F into the law of universal gravitation (F=G*((m1+m2)/r2) to find the mass of the planet exerting force on the star. Then using F = MA again in a new form plugging in the known force and mass of the planet the planet’s acceleration can be found. (A=F/M). With acceleration, mass, and gravitational pull of the star on the planet an orbit could be calculated. (See other possibilities/limitations.)
Method 2: with the mass of a known planet and its star the law of universal gravitation could be used to find (P)roposed (F)orce: (PF=G*((m1+m2)/r2). Next, using F=MA on the star, (A)ctual (F)orce could be found. Next the difference between the two forces if any would be found using (PF-AF=OF) if there is a surplus of deficit in the (O)bserved (F)orce then that force would be put back though the law of universal gravitation with the extrasolar star as m1 and the new planet being m2 that would give the factors A,M, and GP of the planet allowing for it to be plotted and a possible orbit to be calculated. (See other possibilities/limitations.)
I really need to know if these two methods sound viable.
I need the help in mainly the math for calculating orbits
Plus any other math you see as relevant / useful
more info to come
any ideas mainly having problems with math and orbital mathematics
ps i know both are complex but any help would be appreciated
