... 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. ...

... Future seminars . P a s t seminars . ... Hints of the fourth planet in the ? ... This star is currently believed to host 3 giant planets having orbital periods about 4.6 days, 240 days и 1280 days [1]. ... Therefore, this seasonic periodicity is caused, most probably, by systematic errors. ... Taking into account the requirement of the dynamical stability of the system allows us to mark a few regions in the parameter space, where the orbit of the putative fourth planet (e) can be located. ...

... The work involves theoretical research on the dynamics of these objects, either Centaurs or Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) over time-scales comparable to the age of the solar system or until they evolve into the Jupiter-family comet system. The first study (Emel'yanenko et al. 2003) showed that there exist bodies which represent a new population of TNO in the outer solar system, denoted Class O for `outer' TNO. ...
