    Aimée Hall • Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge, UK 1 Neptunes in the Noise: Improved Precision in Exoplanet Transit Detection SuperWASP is an established, highly successful ground-based survey that has already discovered over 80 exoplanets around bright stars. It is only with wide-field surveys such as this that we can find planets around the brightest stars, which are best suited for advancing our knowledge of exoplanetary atmospheres. However, complex instrumental systematics have so far limited SuperWASP to primarily finding hot Jupiters around stars fainter than 10th magnitude. By quantifying and accounting for these systematics up front, rather than in the post- processing stage, the photometric noise can be significantly reduced. In this paper, we present our methods and discuss preliminary results from our re-analysis. We show that the improved processing will enable us to find smaller planets around even brighter stars than was previously possible in the SuperWASP data. Such planets could prove invaluable to the community as they would potentially become ideal targets for the studies of exoplanet atmospheres. Alan Jackson • Arizona State University, USA 2 Stop Hitting Yourself: Did Most Terrestrial Impactors Originate from the Terrestrial Planets? Although the asteroid belt is the main source of impactors in the inner solar system today, it contains only 0.0006 Earth mass, or 0.05 Lunar mass. While the asteroid belt would have been much more massive when it formed, it is unlikely to have had greater than 0.5 Lunar mass since the formation of Jupiter and the dissipation of the solar nebula. By comparison, giant impacts onto the terrestrial planets typically release debris equal to several per cent of the planet’s mass.

Received xxxx xxxxxxxx xx; in original form xxxx xxxxxxxx xx ABSTRACT LoTr 1 is a planetary nebula thought to contain an intermediate-period binary central star system ( that is, a system with an orbital period, P, between 100 and, say, 1500 days). The system shows the signature of a K-type, rapidly rotating giant, and most likely constitutes an accretion-induced post-mass transfer system similar to other PNe such as LoTr 5, WeBo 1 and A70. Such systems represent rare opportunities to further the investigation into the formation of barium stars and intermediate period post-AGB systems – a formation process still far from being understood.

The convex secondary mirror multiplies the effective focal length of the primary mirror and results in a focus at the focal plane, with light passing through a central perforation in the primary mirror. The 8", 10", and 12" models include oversize 8.25", 10.375" and 12.375" primary mirrors, respectively, yielding fully illuminated fields- of-view significantly wider than is possible with standard-size primary mirrors. Note that light ray (2) in the figure would be lost entirely, except for the oversize primary. It is this phenomenon which results in Meade 8", 10", and 12" Schmidt-Cassegrains having off-axis field illuminations 10% greater, aperture-for-aperture, than other Schmidt-Cassegrains utilizing standard-size primary mirrors. The optical design of the 4" Model 2045D is almost identical but does not include an oversize primary, since the effect in this case is small.

  • Diffuse X-Ray Emission from the Planetary Nebula NGC 7009

Chu Astronomy Department, University of Illinois, 1002 W. Green Street, Urbana, IL 61801, USA Received 7 February 2002 / Accepted 1 March 2002 Abstract. XMM-Newton EPIC observations of the planetary nebula (PN) NGC 7009, the Saturn Nebula, have detected extended X-ray emission in its central cavity. The diffuse X-ray emission must originate in the shocked fast stellar wind. The spectra show that the temperature of the hot gas is 1.8 × 106 K. The rms density derived from the volume emission measure is a few tens H-atom cm−3. The hot gas does not appear over-pressurized with respect to the nebular shell. NGC 7009 represents an evolutionary stage at which the influence of the hot gas in the PN interior starts to decline due to the diminishing strength of the fast stellar wind and the expansion of the central cavity.

  • The Double Helix Nebula: a Magnetic Torsional Wave Propagating out of the Galactic Centre
    The Double Helix Nebula: a magnetic torsional wave propagating out of the Galactic centre Mark Morris1, Keven Uchida2, and Tuan Do1 1Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1547, USA 2Center for Radiophysics and Space Research, Cornell University, Space Sciences Building, Ithaca, NY 14853-6801 Radioastronomical studies have indicated that the magnetic field in the central few hundred parsecs of our Milky Way Galaxy has a dipolar geometry and a strength substantially larger than elsewhere in the Galaxy, with estimates ranging up to a milligauss1-6. A strong, large-scale magnetic field can affect the Galactic orbits of molecular clouds by exerting a drag on them, it can inhibit star formation, and it can guide a wind of cosmic rays away from the central region, so a characterization of the magnetic field at the Galactic center is important for understanding much of the activity there. Here, we report Spitzer Space Telescope observations of an unprecedented infrared nebula having the morphology of an intertwined double helix. This feature is located about 100 pc from the Galaxy’s dynamical centre toward positive Galactic latitude, and its axis is oriented perpendicular to the Galactic plane. The observed segment is about 25 pc in length, and contains about 1.25 full turns of each of the two continuous, helically wound strands. We interpret this feature as a torsional Alfvén wave propagating vertically away from the Galactic disk, driven by rotation of the magnetized circumnuclear gas disk. As such, it offers a new morphological probe of the Galactic center magnetic field.

The list was compiled Featured content by Sir Patrick Caldwell-Moore, better known as Patrick Moore, as a complement to the Messier Catalogue. Current events The Messier Catalogue is used frequently by amateur astronomers as a list of interesting deep-sky objects for observations, but Moore noted that the list did not include Random article many of the sky's brightest deep-sky objects, including the Hyades, the Double Cluster (NGC 869 and NGC 884), and NGC 253. Moreover, Moore observed that the Donate to Wikipedia Messier Catalogue, which was compiled based on observations in the Northern Hemisphere, excluded bright deep-sky objects visible in the Southern Hemisphere such [1][2] Interaction as Omega Centauri, Centaurus A, the Jewel Box, and 47 Tucanae. He quickly compiled a list of 109 objects (to match the number of objects in the Messier [3] Help Catalogue) and published it in Sky & Telescope in December 1995. About Wikipedia Since its publication, the catalogue has grown in popularity and usage within the amateur astronomical community. Small compilation errors in the original 1995 version Community portal of the list have since been corrected. Unusually, Moore used one of his surnames to name the list, and the catalogue adopts "C" numbers to rename objects with more Recent changes common designations.[4] Contact Wikipedia As stated above, the list was compiled from objects already identified by professional astronomers and commonly observed by amateur astronomers.

  • Planetary Nebula: from Messier to Abell (Chart Addendum)
    Planetary Nebula: From Messier to Abell (Chart Addendum) Messier Planetary Nebulae: M27 known as the “Dumbbell Nebula”, is located in the summer constellation of Vulpecula, 'The Fox’. Discovered in 1764, it was first planetary nebula ever observed, and is one of the brightest and most impressive, easily visible in binoculars. M27 is about 1360 light years distant, and is estimated to be close to 14,600 years old, and about 3 light- years in size. On summer evenings, it is well placed, almost directly overhead, and can be naked-eye from a dark sky location. Due to its high surface brightness, M27 can even be observable thru a small telescope or binoculars during Full Moon. Its central white dwarf star shines at 12.9+ magnitude and is easily visible at the center of the dumbbell shaped nebula in small telescopes. Distinct structural features can be observed within M27, including bright, sharply defined arcs coming off of either end of the dumbbell, along with striations between the main arcs and the center of the nebula. UHC and OIII filters will enhance the contrast of internal features of the nebula. M57 Located in the summer constellation of Lyra, 'The Lyre (Harp)’, and is known as the ‘Ring Nebula’. It was second planetary nebula discovered by Messier (in 1779, about 15 yrs after M27), and is easy to locate and can be observed with small telescopes, even in suburban skies. It is about 2300 light years distant, and about 6000 years old, and is estimated to have a diameter of about a half-light year, and is expanding at about 12 miles per second.
