Astronomers discover a planet orbiting around another star. The star is very much like our Sun, and the planet is almost a twin to Jupiter. The planet has the same mass as Jupiter, is the same distance from its star as Jupiter is from our Sun (5.2 AU), has the same orbital period (12 years), is the same temperature, and has the same density and chemical composition as Jupiter. However, when we take a close up picture of the planet,...

A planet has a circular orbit around a star of mass M. However, the star just explodes, projecting its outer envelope at a much greater speed than that of the planet in orbit. Its lost mass can, therefore, be considered as having been lost instantaneously. What remains of the star has a mass M ', always greater than that of the planet. What is the eccentricity of the planet's orbit after the explosion? You can neglect the force exerted on...
