What is the minimum necessary aperture diameter


Astronomers have discovered a planetary system orbiting a star, which is at a distance of 5.6 × 1018 m from the earth. One planet is believed to be located at a distance of 1.0 × 1012 m from the star. Using visible light with a vacuum wavelength of 559 nm, what is the minimum necessary aperture diameter that a telescope must have so that it can resolve the planet and the star?
