... Some wonder if smaller wheels have less inertia and therefore give greater acceleration, while others believe that the smaller wheel has to spin faster, so it is a wash. ... The kinetic energy in the wheel is a measure of how much energy you've spent just getting the wheel to spin rather than investing that energy into the road. ... Larger wheels have less rolling resistance, for several reasons. ... So how much difference does the lower inertia of smaller wheels really make? ...

... 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. ...

... We have examined the diversity of planets and planetary systems that arise from oligarchic growth and gas accretion onto massive cores, by means of N-body simulations combined with a sophisticated disc model. ... Slow planetary growth resulted from the relatively low mass of solids in the disc, and one consequence of this is that planets underwent limited orbital migration during the lifetime of the gas disc. ... Figure 1 shows an example of this migration behaviour in a single-planetin-a-disc run. ...

The black hole. ... The black holes are generated in the result of a collapse of giant stars with the mass more than three Sun's masses. ... And moreover the gas near the neutron star or the black hole will get hot and will become a source of high energetic electromagnetic radiation in X-rays and gamma range. ... In the majority of double systems, being the sources of X-rays radiation, the invisible component mass does not exceed the two solar masses, so it is a neutron star. ...

... arXiv.org . astro-ph . ... We fit the near-infrared to radio spectral energy distributions of 30 luminous and ultra-luminous infrared galaxies with pure starburst models or models that include both starburst and AGN components to determine important physical parameters for this population of objects. In particular we constrain the optical depth towards the luminosity source, the star formation rate, the star formation efficiency and the AGN fraction. ...
