My research efforts have focused on three areas which are: . More than 200 extrasolar planets have been discovered around relatively nearby stars, primarily through the Doppler line shifts owing to the reflex motions of their host stars, and more recently through transits of some planets across the face of the host stars. ... Gravitational microlensing provides a novel technique to look for planets around lens stars, and this is the only technique currently capable of detecting Earth-mass planets. ...

Astronomers Detect Coolest Radio Star . ... The new radio-star is much smaller and colder than our Sun.€а With a surface temperature not much higher than that of a giant planet, and a size comparable to JupiterтАЩs, it is scarcely visible in optical light.€а Yet the radio flares seen at Arecibo show it must have a strong magnetic field, implying that the same could be true of other similar stars. ...
