... xmmtrack . ... xmmtrack is an interactive IDL application that visualizes the orbit and attitude data in an ODF in the form of a 3-D animation sequence. The presented scenery includes an astronomically accurate simulation of the Earth-Sun system plus the actual and predicted trajectory of the XMM satellite on its path around the Earth. ... Please note: XMM's orbit is highly time variable and the predicted orbit will significantly deviate from the actual trajectory if the reference epochs differ. ...

... More on 51 Peg: . The discovery of a Jupiter--mass planet in orbit around the solar--type star 51Peg has been reported by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz (Geneva Observatory) on October 6th at the 9th Cambridge workshop on "cool stars, stellar systems, and the sun" held at Florence (Italy). ... Recall that the measurements of radial velocity only yield v sin i which in turn gives us M sin i. For most values of i, sin i will be greater than 0.5 and this gives a mass estimate of 0.5 Jupiter masses. ...
