... 2007 February 27 . Atmospheres Detected for Two Extrasolar Planets . ... Explanation: Do extrasolar planets have water? In an attempt to find out, the orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope made detailed observations of the atmospheres of two planets that orbit stars other than our Sun. ... Although no water vapor was detected this time, the techniques of measuring exoplanet atmospheres are quite promising, and the search for distant water and other biomarkers is just beginning. ...

... Near-IR broad-band imaging of V1318 Cygni reveals the presence of two distinct stellar components oriented north-south, a result recently reported by Aspin et al. ... The distribution of the high density molecular gas traced by the CS J emission is highly concentrated around V1318 and V1686 Cygni, while the total column density of gas traced by the J shows a ridge morphology centered on these sources. ... A molecular outflow has been detected in CO J . ...

... We present the results of an ongoing survey of cool, late­type supergiants -- the descendants of massive O and B­type stars -- that has systematically detected magnetic fields in these stars using spectropolarimetric observations obtained with the ESPaDOnS at the Canada­France­Hawaii Telescope. Our observations reveal detectable, often complex Stokes V Zeeman signatures in the Least­Squares Deconvolution mean line profiles in a significant fraction of the observed sample of 30 stars. ...

... For this paper: postscript PPEUC CMB index 1 Introduction.. ... We report on a 16 ks X-ray observation with the ROSAT PSPC towards the center of a CMB decrement detected by Jones et al. (1997) in the direction of the quasar pair PC1643+4631 A & B. At the position of the decrement we find no evidence for emission by hot gas which could give rise to the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. ... We conclude that the CMB decrement is not a typical galaxy cluster. ... 2 The ROSAT PSPC observation . ...

... It is notoriously difficult to identify weak cosmic ray events in long exposure observations. ... The method is to compare the probability distribution function (PDF) of cosmic ray events between an observation and a dark frame matched in exposure time. We illustrate the basic idea using dark exposures from a Tek 1024 1024 CCD with varying exposure lengths and read-out times. ... Figure: Histogram of cosmic ray events in a two hour dark frame. ...
