... This survey will using the 3.5 and 0.9m telescopes of the WIYN Observatory to conduct an unbiased survey for dwarf galaxies. ... What percentage of low mass galaxies experience starburst (SB) episodes? ... There are two kinds of galaxies, those that SB and those that don't. Need a survey that identifies both kinds? ... Therefore, you need to survey a large area to have a sufficient volume to find enough dwarfs. ... Low mass galaxies are very rare, so we need to cover a lot of area. ...

... The discovery of giant Jupiter-type planets in a close proximity to 51 Peg, Boo, and And has prompted the question of where the planets could be formed in the circumstellar disks of solar-type stars. ... Planet formation, at distance of ~0.05 AU from the star, requires that the temperature of the circumstellar protoplanetary disk is low enough for the condensation of rocky materials, and the surface density is sufficiently high. ...
