"Trendy" Wireless Phones Most Likely to Be Researched Online; Low-Cost Models Most Often Ordered
"Trendy" Wireless Phones Most Likely To Be Researched Online; Low-Cost Models Most Often Ordered Motorola RAZR V3C Tops the List of Most Researched Wireless Phones; Sony Ericsson Z520A Most Frequently Ordered Online, with More than Two-Thirds at No Cost to the Consumer "Trendy" Wireless Phones Most Likely To Be Researched Online; Low-Cost Models Most Often Ordered RESTON, VA. June 12, 2006 - comScore Networks, a leader in the measurement and analysis of consumer behavior and attitudes, today released an analysis of the online research and purchase behavior of consumers in the wireless phone market. comScore revealed that consumers were most likely to research newly released and "trendy" models, with the Motorola RAZR V3C topping the list during the first quarter of 2006. Other models securing spots on the most researched list include the Palm Treo 650, the Palm Treo 700W, and the Motorola Pebl.

As a measure of interest in the model, comScore found that the Motorola Q product page on the Verizon Wireless Web site received slightly more than 100,000 unique visitors in the second half of May, 2006. Price is a Driving Factor When Purchasing a Phone comScore also analyzed trends in ordering cell phones online, among new and existing customers, at major carrier and wireless sites in the first quarter of 2006. -

O’Connell1 Draft version October 8, 2018 ABSTRACT The Palomar High-precision Astrometric Search for Exoplanet Systems (PHASES) monitored 51 sub-arcsecond binary systems to determine precision binary orbits, study the geometries of triple and quadruple star systems, and discover previously unknown faint astrometric companions as small as giant planets. PHASES measurements made with the Palomar Testbed Interferometer (PTI) from 2002 until PTI ceased normal operations in late 2008 are presented. Infrared differential photometry of several PHASES targets were measured with Keck Adaptive Optics and are presented.

Habitable Zones with Stable Orbits for Planets Around Binary Systems
Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 000, 1–?? (—-) Printed 23 May 2014 (MN LATEX style file v2.2) Habitable Zones with Stable Orbits for Planets around Binary Systems Luisa G. Jaime1?, Luis Aguilar2, and Barbara Pichardo1 1Instituto de Astronom´ıa, Universidad Nacional Autonoma´ de Mexico,´ Apdo. postal 70-264, Ciudad Universitaria, Mexico´ 2Instituto de Astronom´ıa, Universidad Nacional Autonoma´ de Mexico,´ Apdo. postal 877, 22800 Ensenada, Mexico´ Accepted. Received ; in original form ABSTRACT A general formulation to compute habitable zones around binary stars is presented. A habitable zone in this context must satisfy two separate conditions: a radiative one and one of dynamical stability. For the case of single stars, the usual concept of circumstellar habitable zone is based on the radiative condition only, as the dynamical stability condition is taken for granted (assuming minimal perturbation from other planets). For the radiative condition, we extend the simple formulation of the circumstellar habitable zone for single stars, to the case of eccentric stellar binary systems, where two sources of luminosity at different orbital phases contribute to the irradiance of their planetary circumstellar and circumbinary regions. Our approach considers binaries with eccentric orbits and guarantees that orbits in the computed habitable zone remain within it at all orbital phases. For the dynamical stability condition, we use the approach of invariant loops developed by Pichardo et al. (2005) to find regions of stable, non-intersecting orbits, which is a robust method to find stable regions in binary stars, as it is based in the existence of integrals of motion. We apply the combined criteria to calculate habitable zones for 64 binary stars in the solar neighborhood with known orbital parameters, including some with discovered planets. -

In 2010 and 2011 we reported the detection of 3 mm and 3.2-3.6 mm signatures on (24) Themis and (65) Cybele indicative of water-ice and complex organics [1] [2] [3]. We further probed other primitive asteroids in the Cybele dynamical group and Themis family, finding diversity in the shape of their 3 mm [4] [5] [6] and 10 mm spectral features [4]. -
