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. ...

We critique the method of constructing extinction curves of lensing galaxies, using multiply imaged QSOs. If one of the two QSO images is lightly reddened, or if the dust along both sight lines has the same properties, then the method works well and produces an extinction curve for the lensing galaxy. ... Instead, it is a measurement of the difference between two extinction curves. ... The resulting lens difference curve is not an average of the dust along the two sight lines. ...

... Thomson's multiple window method of spectral estimationthomson provides a very good estimate of the power spectrum by measuring the energy contained within a collection of rectangular shaped frequency intervals. ... Often, much of the fine structure of a spectral estimate is due to noise. It should be stressed that while other methods of spectral estimation (such as the Welchoppenheim method) exist, the Thomson method is particularly noteworthy for its precisely defined rectangular frequency bins. ...

... If the measuring aperture varies, a varying amount of starlight will be excluded. Furthermore, the excluded fraction is wavelength-dependent; so the transformation from instrumental to standard system changes. ... Unfortunately, sometimes it is necessary to combine measurements made with different field stops. Observers should realize that this really means different instruments; the differences are usually several per cent. ... Usually, the actual aperture sizes are only approximately known. ...
