... New technique measures mass of exoplanets . ... Now, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new technique for determining the mass of exoplanets using only their transmission spectra dips in light as a planet passes in front of its star. ... To determine the mass of an exoplanet using transmission spectroscopy, de Wit relied on the effect that a planet s mass has on its atmosphere, as transmission spectra give information on a planet s atmospheric properties. ...

The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) . ... Before jumping into all the finer details of teh survey, a brief non-astronomer's guide to redshift surveys is available. ... The primary scientific aims of the QSO survey are: (1) to obtain the primordial fluctuation power spectrum out to COBE scales, (2) to determine the rate of QSO clustering evolution in the non-linear and linear regimes and hence obtain new limits on the value of and the bias parameter, (3) to apply a powerful geometric method to measure . ...

... Захаров А. Ф. It is generally accepted now that there is a supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center. ... Observations of trajectories of bright stars at the Galactic Center in IR band have been done with an enormous precision. ... We review theoretical studies and their links with observations to get constraints on parameters of the Galactic Center potential and as a result to evaluate parameters of the black hole and distributions of stellar cluster and dark matter near the black hole. ...
