... 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. ...

... NOW HERE'S THE BEEF: The VSWR tolerance of a transmitter like ours depends on a number of potential problem areas, such as plate voltage swing, voltages and currents in the elements of the matching network and filter, voltage and current tolerance at nodes in the Heliax line, etc. ... The screen grid has a finite power dissipation limit (before it starts melting!), and this limit is given on the tube datasheet. Transmitter metering should show both screen voltage and screen current. ...
