The asteroid Icarus, discovered in 1949, was so named because its highly eccentric elliptical orbit brings it close to the Sun at perihelion. The eccentricity e of an ellipse is defined by the relation rp = a(1 − e), where rp is the perihelion distance and a is the semimajor axis. Icarus has an eccentricity of 0.83 and a period of 1.1 y.
Determine the semimajor axis of the orbit of Icarus.
