Stars like HD 82943 are main sequence G dwarf stars with temperatures and compositions similar to the Sun. Also like the Sun, HD 82943 is known to have at least two giant planets, but unlike gas giants in our solar system their orbits are not nearly circular and bring them closer to the parent star. ...

Constraining Galaxy Formation Epoch - Age Estimation of High Redshift Galaxies - S. Yi et al. Caltech, USA The galaxy formation epoch (z f ) is an important and unique prod- uct of cosmological models, and thus much e ort has been made to constrain it. The most direct way of constraining z f is to estimate the ages of bright elliptical galaxies at high redshifts arrucately, but it has not been an easy task. ... If we adopt our age estimate, the continuum of this galaxy suggests z f  2 { 3. ...

... Let us first find out which way -- rise in spectral resolution with some loss in the S/N ratio or increase in the S/N ratio with a fixed spectral resolution -- is better for the purpose of reduction of equivalent width determination errors. ...

... Many of our new results favour a conal geometry for the arrangement of emission regions and allow accurate estimates of the emission heights and polar cap locations for the emission cones to be obtained. These results indicate that pulsar emission cones may be located at around half-way out the edge of the polar cap and at altitudes of a few hundred to a thousand kilometers above the neutron star surface. ...
