... This accuracy allows HARPS to detect planets with masses slightly greater than the Earth. Among the 50 new HARPS planet discoveries announced in September, the one that garnered the most attention orbits the star HD 85512 (aka Gliese 370), 36 light-years awa y in the southern constellation Vela. The planet, given the prosaic designation HD 85512 b, has a mass of about 3.6 times that of Earth and orbits its star, an orange K-type dwarf, in 59 days. ...

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...

The direct detection of gravitational waves is one of those events long-expected by physicists that are nevertheless a significant occurrence which excites the world scientific community as if something unexpected has happened. ... Many rumors leaked ahead of the conference, and the fact that something (that is, a signal corresponding to gravitational waves) was discovered by LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) was discussed on the sidelines. ... arXiv:1602.03868 . ...
