... Astronomers have used a new technique to see the faint light from a planet that is orbiting a distant star. ... Instead, astronomers found them by looking for telltale clues, such as how the light from a star dims when an exo-planet passes in front of it, or how it wobbles because of the pull of an exo-planet s gravity. Astronomers can learn a lot about exo-planets that move in front of their stars. This is because the starlight passes through the exo-planet s atmosphere on its way to Earth. ...

One of my on-going research interests concerns the dust shells of proto-planetary nebulae or PPNs (also called pre-planetary nebulae, transition objects, and post-AGB objects in the literature; the latter term also applies to a wider selection of objects such as RV Tauri stars), especially the carbon-rich ones that show the unidentified "21 micron' emission feature. ... I am working to find a complete sample of proto-planetary nebulae in these satellite galaxies from the millions of detected stars. ...

... A detailed study of two consecutive bright points observed simultaneously with CDS, EIT and MDI is presented. The analysis of the evolution of the photospheric magnetic features and their coronal counterpart shows that there is a linear dependence between the EIT Fe XII 195? flux and the total magnetic flux of the photospheric bipolarity. ... In a follow-up study, we used wide slit (90arcsec240arcsec) movies of four EIT coronal bright points (BPs) obtained with CDS. ...
