A Program-Based Method of Plotting the Orbital Data of a Double Star
Abstract
A program for plotting the orbital data of double stars was developed and tested on the double star WDS01078+0425, previously studied by Adam et al. (2014). This program automates the process in determining the vertical and horizontal components of the separation using the position angle of a given double star. These components are then used to plot a point on the last orbital solution using a program such as MSPaint or ImageJ.
