... High-velocity clouds (HVCs) were discovered by Muller, Oort & Raimond (1963) in the 21-cm line emission of neutral, atomic hydrogen. They are gas clouds which are characterised by high radial velocities incompatible with a participation in the rotation of our Galaxy. ... This suggestion was seized by Braun & Burton (1999) who identified 66 compact high-velocity clouds (CHVCs) with positional and kinematic characteristics being compatible with a distribution across the entire Local Group. ...

... Some data from 28mar07 (The first 240 records (50.3 seconds) from file: 28mr07aa) was used to check for reported glitches in the system. ... Dynamic spectra were made using +/- 10 kHz bw for the 50 seconds. ... Combs were found that repeated every 12 seconds. These are radar rotation periods. 1 second spectral averages were taken around 3 different combs. A model of the combs created by the airport faa radar over plotted on the measured combs. ...

Fringe parameters are the complex visibility, the squared visibility amplitude, and the total count rate. These can be computed from bincounts using the functions fringevis , fringevissq , and fringenphot . v=fringevis(bincounts(1,*,*,*)) . ... Instead of computing the modulus of the complex visibility, we use a different estimator for the squared amplitude. ... I have verified with simulated fringe frames that this procedure results in the correct squared visibility amplitudes. ...

... 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. ...
