... 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. ...

Not everyone accepted Parker's theory of the solar wind when it was first published in 1958, and it was debated until observations confirmed it. ... Lower-velocity solar wind comes from regions in between sunspot regions and coronal holes . ...

... We devote this issue of The Universe in the Classroom to the search for planets around other stars. ... Why do we think there might be planets around other stars? ... Activity: Center of Mass Demonstration Stars are huge luminous balls of gas powered by nuclear reactions at their centers. ... That's because the star and the planet actually move around the center of mass of the star-planet system, the point where one would balance a seesaw holding the star on one end and the planet on the other. ...

... All the galaxies are divided into 4 groups depending on the environment type; every subsample contains more than 10 galaxies. ... An effect of environments is seen both for the nuclei and for the bulges: if we consider the clusters (Virgo and Ursa Ma jor) and group centers as dense environments and the field and group periphery as sparse environments, then in the dense environments the stellar populations of S0s are in average older by 4­5 Gyr than in the sparse ones. ...
