... 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. ...

Princeton and New York University researchers have simulated the effect of a primordial black hole passing through a star. Primordial black holes are among the objects hypothesized to make up dark matter тАФ the invisible substance thought to constitute much of the universe тАФ and astronomers could use the researchers' model to finally observe the elusive black holes. ... The different colors correspond to the density of the primordial black hole and strength of the vibration. ...

... They are the offset in arcseconds for the x and y inst plane offset, the exposure time in seconds, and the number of exposures at each position. ... A point about offsets should be made here. The dither program uses absolute instrument plane offsets, so you should use object plane offsets to center up on the chip so that the script starts from where you centered up. INST and OBJ offsets are independent so an object offset will not be zeroed out by and inst plane offset, just added to it. ...
