Recent observations have discovered that nearby Van Biesbroeck's star might have just such a large planet. ... Since faint M-type stars like VB 10 are so common, planetary system s surrounding them, including planets larger than their parent star, might be more common than planetary systems like our own Solar System . ...

My research efforts have focused on three areas which are: . More than 200 extrasolar planets have been discovered around relatively nearby stars, primarily through the Doppler line shifts owing to the reflex motions of their host stars, and more recently through transits of some planets across the face of the host stars. ...

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. ...

... As we have seen, evolutionary considerations based on our current understanding of massive binary systems lead to the conclusion that BH+PSR binaries must constitute a rather numerous subclass of all binary PSR ( 1 per 1000 isolated pulsars; Lipunov et al. , 1994b[ 124 ]). It seemed a priori that the binary radio pulsar PSR B0042-73   in the SMC (Kaspi et al., 1994[ 81 ]) could belong to one of these two classes. ... This means that such binary pulsars should be discovered in the near future. ...

Ultracompact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) are among the densest stellar systems in the Universe. With typical masses of 10^7 to 10^8 solar masses and half-mass radii between 10 to 100 pc they are more than a factor 1000 denser than dwarf galaxies of the same mass. They also show evidence for elevated mass-to-light ratios, which could be due to the presence of massive black holes or unusual stellar IMFs as a result of their extreme densities. ...
