Change the mass of M1 to 12. Do not "enter" before predicting the period and radial velocity range and writing those predictions here:

Compare the effects of Model 3 to those of Model 0. Change a to 2.0. Before you "enter," predict the period and radial velocity range:
4 3 1 2.0 0.5 75.0   B:

The next step is to change M1 to 50 solar masses, leaving i at 0.0. Before you "enter," the new mass, predict the period and radial velocity range:
