... 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. ...

... It was shown in the early 1980's that spectral lines formed around 1-2.5 x 10 5 K were enhanced in radiance by factors up to 15-25 over the normal quiet Sun. From the dynamical viewpoint, this would suggest a pressure imbalance between the sunspot and the surrounding region. ... Here, the electron density was evaluated over a bright sunspot plume region using lines within the O V 760? multiplet. ... The derived densities in all four regions are indicated. ...

... As first proposed by Axford (1962) and Kellogg (1962), all planetary bodies having either a magnetosphere or a highly conducting ionosphere have also a bow shock associated with the deflection of the solar wind around them. This shock wave develops because the information needed to deflect the solar wind plasma around the obstacle travels at a velocity that is less than that of the solar wind flow. ... intermediate wave . ... Some of the waves are generated in the bow shock and propagate upstream. ...
