... 2008 November 17 . HR 8799: Discovery of a Multi-planet Star System . ... Explanation: How common are planetary systems like our own Solar System? In the twelve years previous to 2008, over 300 candidate planetary systems have been found orbiting nearby stars. ... Although the HR 8799 planetary system has significant differences with our Solar System, it is a clear demonstration that complex planetary systems exist, systems that could conceivable contain an Earth-like planet . ...

... In order to compare the number of different evolutionary stages obtained and X-ray luminosity of the chosen X-ray sources with the observed galactic values we use the sum of C/O+O/C , where C and O are the calculated and observed values of a given binary type, respectively. If we make comparison for a number of different binary species (for example, we compare the number of CV, number of X-ray pulsars,   total X-ray luminosity of LMXB, etc.), we write this criterion in the form: . ...

MASTER OT J035815.59+214117.9 discovery - dwarf nova outburst MASTER-Kislovodsk auto-detection system discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 03h 58m 15.59s +21d 41m 17.9s on 2015-11-18.89742 UT. The OT unfiltered magnitude is 17.1m (limit 18.1m). The OT is seen in 3 images. There is no minor planet at this place. We have reference image without OT on 2010-12-03.85624 UT with unfiltered magnitude limit 20.2m. Spectral observations are required.

... In one situation, we can use light from quasars to probe the material between us and them because that light may pass through one or more galaxies or gas clouds on its way to us. The gas inside the galaxies or the intergalactic clouds acts then as a filter, absorbing selected wavelengths from the quasar light. ... Light from a quasar must pass through clouds of gas and even faint galaxies -- each leaving its imprint on the light -- before we receive it here on Earth. ... Gravitational lensing . ...

... The NICMOS Parallel Program . Analysis . ... NICMOS observations made in parallel with the other HST instruments have produced an archive of over 2,000 images, covering a wide range of Galactic latitudes. ... The maximum sensitivity of these images is approximately 0.1 Jy, which should allow the detection of such astrophysically interesting sources as brown dwarfs in the solar neighborhood and star-forming galaxies out to z 3. ...

The weather throughout this year was so extremely favorable that I have been able to observe the Sun clearly on 312 days; however, I counted only 34 groups of sunspots.. From my earlier observations, which I have reported every year in this journal, it appears that there is a certain periodicity in the appearance of sunspots and this theory seems more and more probable from the results of this year.. ... 244 . ... 149 . ...

... 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. ...
