Using the 1-m telescope at Ritter Observatory, we took 36 observations of \zeta$^2$ Coronae Borealis with a fiber-fed echelle spectrograph. From these observations, \zeta$^2$ CrB was found to be a triple system and a new spectroscopic orbit was calculated. ... The inner binary`s center of mass (\zeta$^2$ CrB AB) describes a long-period single-lined variation identified with the outer binary. ... The inner binary possesses an essentially circular orbit $(e = 0.48)$. ...

... To use system calls and library functions in a C program we simply call the appropriate C function (Appendix ). We have already met some system calls when dealing with low level I O - open(), creat(), read(), write() and close() are examples. ... All math functions such as sin(), cos(), sqrt() and random number generators - random(), seed(), lrand48(), drand48() etc. are standard math library functions. NOTE: most standard library functions will use system calls within them. ...

... The compiled library is for 64-bit systems. ... Run install_cfitsio to install the pre-built libary on your system. The 64-bit library will be copied to /usr/local/lib64 and the include files will be in /usr/local/include. ... The library and include files are in lib64 and include in this directory. ... An advantage in keeping everything in "/usr/local/" as we do by default here, is that when you upgrade your operating system, the software you have built to run your camera will not be modified. ...

... 2005 June 14 . Gliese 876 System Includes Large Terrestrial Planet . ... Slight, fast, but regular wobbles of nearby small M - dwarf star Gliese 876 showed evidence for a planet with a likely mass slightly higher than a minimum six times the mass of Earth.
