... An alternate model dominated by smaller grains, near the blowout size a~0.5 ЮМm, located at 30-40 AU is also possible but requires the dust to have been produced recently, since such small grains will be expelled from the system by radiation pressure in approximately a few times 102 yr. ...

Next: New Capabilities in the Astrophysics Multispectral Archive Search Engine . ... The Space Telescope European Coordinating Facility and the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre have started a project aimed at augmenting the way an astronomer can query the Hubble Space Telescope science archive. Today the HST archive contains more than 70,000 WFPC2 exposures. ... This approach is valid if the archive was to serve only the primary targets; it is certainly not prone to be a discovery tool. ...

... Over the past decade and a half, astronomers have used both ground-based and space-based telescopes to discover more than 400 "extrasolar" planets. The Kepler space-based mission uses a technique called transit photometry to search for these planets. In January 2010 the Kepler mission team announced the discovery of five new planets. ...
