... Now we're getting ready for the Australian SKA Pathfinder ( ASKAP ) and the Square Kilometre Array ( SKA ) itself. I co-lead the Galactic ASKAP survey, GASKAP, and the Polarisation survey, POSSUM. I have roles in SKA science planning, including membership on two SKA Science working groups (HI and The Galaxy), the SKA Science and Engineering Advisory Committee, Australia New Zealand SKA Coordination Committee (ANZSCC) and ANZSCC's Science Advisory Committee. ...

... 8, ``Celestial Mechanics'', 2002 Regularity and chaos for planetary orbits in binaries D. Benest Observatoire de Nice, Nice, France 1. ... Previous papers showed that stable planetary orbits, around either the lightest or the heaviest component of several nearby binary systems, exist up to distances from their primary of the order of more than half the binary's periastron sep­ aration. ... Chaos: bounded or sticky? It is now well­known that planetary dynamics may include some proportion of chaos. ...

2600) of EBs, roughly 100 of which have been followed up and for which reliable masses, radii, and spectral types have been obtained (Torres et al. 2010). ... To improve constraints on theories of stellar evolution at the low-mass end, we have proposed to use ARCES and DIS (in high-resolution mode) at APO to obtain radial velocity measurements and metallicities for an EB system in the Kepler field containing two K dwarfs. ...

Abstract -- The strengths of magnetic fields in interstellar gas clouds are obtained through observations of the circular polarization of spectral line radiation. ... To infer information about these irregularities from the observational data, we develop statistical relationships between the rms values of the irregular component of the magnetic field and spatial variations in the circular polarization of the spectral line radiation. ...
