From RATAN-600 observations with a matrix radiometer at a wavelength of 1 cm indications have been found of existence of relativistic electrons in the magnetosphere of Jupiter with energy of about 100 MeV, which demands revision of mechanisms of acceleration of cosmic rays of the solar wind with energy of a few MeV. ...

As part of a large Spitzer MIPS Guaranteed Time Observation program, we have searched for infrared excesses due to debris disks toward 26 FGK field stars known from radial velocity (RV) studies to have one or more planets. While none of these stars show excesses at 24 ЮМm, we have detected 70 ЮМm excesses around six stars at the 3 Я? confidence level. The excesses are produced by cool material ( . ...

Microsymposium 38, MS083, 2003 (A4 format) MERCURY: LOCAL VARIATIONS OF THE PHOTOMETRIC RELIEF. ... Because of trajectory and pointing angle constraints the planet could be observed from Mariner 10 only over a small range of phase angles between about 75o and 110o. Therefore the photometric investigations are restricted to measuring the distribution of brightness on the Mercurian disk. ... Raw versions of real-time processing pictures FDS 0000984 and FDS 0000986 were used (images 196 and 202). ...

... We demonstrate through numerical simulations that model parameters estimated with our technique are essentially bias-free, even when the average number of counts per bin is 1. ... The IW technique avoids such biases by estimating through successive iterations, where for each iteration, j, , and the best-fit parameters are determined by minimization of . ... In our sample, we find that the minimum values and best-fit parameters converge after about 6 iterations. ...

This could be interpreted as a continuous distribution with statistically insignificant deviations which give the appearance of gaps or a real gap. ... When the distributions of periods greater five days are compared for the ONC stars and those near Orionis the KS test gives a 47% probability of these distributions being drawn from the same population. ...

Neutral hydrogen distribution in the region of radio source Cygnus X . ... HI distribution in the region of radio source Cygnus X and supernova remnant G78.2+2.1 has been investigated from observations in 21 cm radio line using radio telescope RATAN-600. ... The existance of the large HI shell and a cavity in molecular gas distribution around Cygnus X indicates this radio source most probably to represent a united structure and whole gas may be drived by stellar wind of Cyg OB2 stellar assotiation. ...

... Watchouts . ... It associates incorrect energies with line features below 1 keV by shifting them to lower energies and applying too much redistribution. Fig.1 compares the SASv6.0 result (red curve) with the SASv5.4 result (black curve) for a 0.8 keV line feature. ... Currently SAS 6.0 leads to obviously very bad fits at low energies, while the MOS-timing canned-response produces fits in excellent agreement with MOS small-window mode down to 100 eV (as shown in Fig.2). ...

... ROTATION CURVE: When studying spiral galaxies it is invariably found that the stellar rotational velocity in the disk remains constant, or "flat", with increasing distance away from the galactic center. ... The rotation speed of the stars in galaxies is found NOT to decrease with increasing distance from the galactic center (see emission lines in the spectrum), implying that the overall mass distribution of the galaxy is different from the light distribution. ...

Detecting Long Period Planets with WASP 1 University of Warwick, Gibbet Hill Road, Coventry, CV4 7AL To estimate the number of transiting planets in this period range, planetary occurrence rates from Kepler (Fressin et al, 2013) for varying spectral type & planet type were used. ...

New results from NEOWISE , the infrared asteroid hunting portion of the WISE mission , are shown on the left compared to old population projections of mid-size or larger near-Earth asteroids from surveys at visible wavelengths.

3) Planets and Brown Dwarfs . ... By its nature, this method is most sensitive to massive planets orbiting close to their stars. ... That means that some of the more massive extrasolar planets could actually be brown dwarfs (although the statistics of the finds suggest that most of them are not). ... Another possible difference between brown dwarfs and massive planets is how they are born. ... They would base the fundamental definition on the mode of formation: a planet is built from planetesimals. ...
