... This talk will present discoveries of new transiting planets and low mass stars, and the characterisation of their fundamental properties: mass, radius, temperature, and composition. ... The planets discovered by HATSouth orbit a diverse range of host stars, and the candidates identified have a wide range of orbital periods. ... These observations represent some of the highest precision near-infrared time-series photometry performed from the ground, and probe a diverse range of planet atmospheres. ...

For the first time since exoplanets, or planets around stars other than the Sun, were discovered almost 20 years ago, X-ray observations have detected an exoplanet passing in front of its parent star. ... The main star in HD 189733 also has a faint red companion, detected for the first time in X-rays with...

... Consequently, it is inappropriate to expand and in ordinary spherical harmonics. The proper expansion expresses both and simultaneously in terms of a particular order of generalized spherical harmonics. ... Generalized spherical harmonics start at , and for each , . ... Generalized spherical harmonics obey a sum rule analogous to a familiar one for ordinary spherical harmonics, but it includes an explicit phase factor which depends on the orientation of the two lines of sight. ...

... In this talk, I will discuss a study of the effect of ionization on the low end of HI mass function. The existence of a large population of low mass galaxies follows from CDM theory. ... HIDEEP found no low HI column density galaxies. One possible explanation is that the disks are "frozen". ... We assume that galaxies are exposed to an ionizing background radiation, from a uniform quasar distribution. ... We find a gap in the average column densities around N H which drops to 10 17 cm -2 . ...

... More than 300 surface reconstructions are already known for pure Si surface and Si surface with adsorbate. Study of their properties by the methods of surface physics reveal numerous interesting phenomena including various phase transitions accompanied by changes of Fermi-surface topology, development of the charge-density wave, etc . ... The charge-density wave (CDW) develops in materials with a chain-like crystal structure at temperatures below the Peierls transition temperature. ...

Each energy deposition is followed by the expulsion of pre-existing or new reconnected loops and/or collimated flow along open magnetic field lines. ... We clearly identified two types of up-flow: one collimated up-flow along open magnetic field lines and a plasma cloud formed from the expelled BP loops. We also report a cooler down-flow along closed magnetic field lines. ...

... Recent studies indicate that stars are most likely forming within the binary and multiple systems. ... During several years we are conducting the observations of such multiple stellar systems at the BTA telescope in order to find their companions and study the properties therein. ... This star is interesting in that it may be a dynamically unstable multiple star, meaning that over time, such systems will split into individual stars. ... A bright component is a very tight spectroscopic binary star. ...
