International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics 2015, Central Java - Indonesia — Long Problems
Внимание: Бележка към темата
The revised official marking scheme is primary. Earlier image-key questions and marking weights differ and are labelled separately. The revised key leaves problem 3(d) blank; the earlier distance derivation adds an assumption absent from the final question. Printed algebraic inconsistencies are retained.
Instruction — Theoretical Round
Write your answer on the answer-sheet only. You can use more than one sheet for one problem. Please ask the organizer for the additional answer-sheets.
Different problems should be done on different sheets.
You can use your own calculator without program and graphic facility.
You can ask the organizer for rough paper.

The revised official key leaves final problem 3(d) blank (15 points). The earlier image edition gives a distance derivation only after adding a 0.1% temperature-error assumption absent from the final question; it is retained separately, not presented as a complete final-edition answer.
Revised marking scheme — a. (15 т.)
Defining and , we have
