Armagh Observatory, 10 January 2003: A former resident of Armagh, Mr Terry Moseley, now President of the Irish Astronomical Association , was recently honoured by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) by having a minor planet named after him. The asteroid, the first to be discovered by David Asher, of the Armagh Observatory, was found at Siding Spring Observatory, Australia, on Boxing Day 1994. A reception to mark the event will be held at the Armagh Observatory on Wednesday 15th January. ...

... Research . ... GPI Data Pipeline . ... GPI . ... My research focuses on high contrast imaging of circumstellar material: disks, envelopes, jets, and substellar companions. ... The second, harder challenge is achieving sufficiently high contrast: scattered light from circumstellar dust is faint, usually less than a percent of the total flux, sometimes far less. ... In addition to planet detection, GPI will also feature a polarimetric imaging mode for studies of circumstellar dust disks. ...

... 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. ...
