    Prehistory of Transit Searches Danielle BRIOT1 & Jean SCHNEIDER2 1) GEPI, UMR 8111, Observatoire de Paris, 61 avenue de l’Observatoire, F- 75014, Paris, France [email protected] 2) LUTh, UMR 8102, Observatoire de Paris, 5 place Jules Janssen, F-92195 Meudon Cedex, France [email protected] Abstract Nowadays the more powerful method to detect extrasolar planets is the transit method, that is to say observations of the stellar luminosity regularly decreasing when the planet is transiting the star. We review the planet transits which were anticipated, searched, and the first ones which were observed all through history. Indeed transits of planets in front of their star were first investigated and studied in the solar system, concerning the star Sun. The first observations of sunspots were sometimes mistaken for transits of unknown planets. The first scientific observation and study of a transit in the solar system was the observation of Mercury transit by Pierre Gassendi in 1631. Because observations of Venus transits could give a way to determine the distance Sun-Earth, transits of Venus were overwhelmingly observed. Some objects which actually do not exist were searched by their hypothetical transits on the Sun, as some examples a Venus satellite and an infra-mercurial planet. We evoke the possibly first use of the hypothesis of an exoplanet transit to explain some periodic variations of the luminosity of a star, namely the star Algol, during the eighteen century. Then we review the predictions of detection of exoplanets by their transits, those predictions being sometimes ancient, and made by astronomers as well as popular science writers.

  • Apus Constellation Visible at Latitudes Between +5° and -90°
    Apus Constellation Visible at latitudes between +5° and -90°. Best visible at 21:00 (9 p.m.) during the month of July. Apus is a small constellation in the southern sky. It represents a bird-of-paradise, and its name means "without feet" in Greek because the bird-of-paradise was once wrongly believed to lack feet. First depicted on a celestial globe by Petrus Plancius in 1598, it was charted on a star atlas by Johann Bayer in his 1603 Uranometria. The French explorer and astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille charted and gave the brighter stars their Bayer designations in 1756. The five brightest stars are all reddish in hue. Shading the others at apparent magnitude 3.8 is Alpha Apodis, an orange giant that has around 48 times the diameter and 928 times the luminosity of the Sun. Marginally fainter is Gamma Apodis, another ageing giant star. Delta Apodis is a double star, the two components of which are 103 arcseconds apart and visible with the naked eye. Two star systems have been found to have planets. Apus was one of twelve constellations published by Petrus Plancius from the observations of Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman who had sailed on the first Dutch trading expedition, known as the Eerste Schipvaart, to the East Indies. It first appeared on a 35-cm diameter celestial globe published in 1598 in Amsterdam by Plancius with Jodocus Hondius. De Houtman included it in his southern star catalogue in 1603 under the Dutch name De Paradijs Voghel, "The Bird of Paradise", and Plancius called the constellation Paradysvogel Apis Indica; the first word is Dutch for "bird of paradise".

  • JO HANNESKEPLER Johannes Kepler Wurde Am 27
    Natura scritta in lingua matematica Galilei. JOHANNES KEPLER Johannes Kepler wurde am 27. Dezember 1571 in der freien Reichsstadt Weil der Stadt (Bezirk Leonberg) in Württemberg geboren. Ein Ahne Keplers war 1433 von Kaiser Sigismund auf der Tiberbrücke in Rom zum Ritter geschlagen worden, so daß sich unser Johannes zu altem Adel rechnen durfte. Sein Großvater Sebald war Bürgermeister der Stadt gewesen. Aus dessen Ehe entstammten 12 Kinder, darunter der Vater Heinrich unseres Johannes. Heinrich Kepler heiratete am 15. Mai 1571 die Bürgermeisterstochter von Eltingen, Katharina Guldenmann und schon am 27. Dezember des gleichen Jahres erblickte ein schwaches Siebenmonatkind das Licht der Welt, deren Himmelsgesetze es später ergründen sollte. Eine sorg­ same Pflege in ruhiger Familie fand der junge Kepler freilich nicht. Im Vater Heinrich steckte die Abenteuerlust der Ahnen; so zog er immer wieder als Söldner des Herzogs Alba in die Ferne. Und die unbe­ herrschte Mutter verzichtete gerne auf den häuslichen Herd, folgte dem tatenfrohen Mann in den Krieg und überließ den Großeltern gerne den kleinen Johannes, der zu aller Schwächlichkeit noch eine schwere Pockenerkrankung durchmachen mußte. Reichtümer sammelten die Eltern in der Ferne nicht, ja sie verloren ihr ganzes Vermögen, das in einer gepachteten Wirtschaft nicht mehr zurückgewonnen werden konnte. Schließlich zog der Vater als spanischer Hauptmann in den Krieg gegen die Portugiesen und starb auf der Heimreise in der Nähe von Augsburg. Die Jugend Keplers war also alles andere als glücklich und sorgenfrei, zumal er auch während seines Schulbesuches im der Volksschule zu Weil und der Lateinschule von Leon­ berg zu allen möglichen Arbeiten in Haus und Feld herangezogen wurde.

Pezzaglia Winter 2006 Jan/12/2006 Star Maps and Constellations Page SC- 2 Star Maps and Constellations Except for the last 400 years, all observations of the "universe" were done by naked eye. Surprisingly, there is a great deal that can be learned by simply "stargazing". In fact, until you've become visually familiar with the sky, a telescope will not be of much use, as you won't know where to point it. The first stage of any exploration is making a map. The science of mapping is called Cosmography, where the Greek root word cosmos refers to describing the order and harmony of the universe. The focus of this chapter is to learn about maps of the celestial sphere, how we identify and name stars (and how to find them in the sky). A. Asterism & Constellations On a dark clear night, the sky seems to be a random jumble of stars. One of the most basic human traits however, is to make order out of chaos. We look for patterns. The analytic will see symbolic or geometric grouping (e.g. looks like a "W" or a triangle), the poetic will see epic heroes. These "groupings" of stars are called asterisms. Many are "natural" as evidenced by divergent cultures having many of the same stars grouped together (in some cases, even with similar interpretations). 1. Ancient History: The first recorded names for asterisms come from the Babylonians about 3000 B.C. There were originally just four "signs", associated with the position of the sun for the four seasons: Taurus the Bull (spring), Leo the Lion (Summer), Scorpius the Scorpion (fall) and Aquarius the water bearer (winter).

  • EDITORIAL a Matter of Quality of Life “Baloney!” the Word
    Organizations, People and Strategies in Astronomy 2 (OPSA 2), 1-14 Ed. A. Heck, © 2013 Venngeist. EDITORIAL A Matter of Quality of Life “Baloney!” The word actually used was a ruder one. My neighbor had jumped on his feet, shouting at the orator. We were on the French Riviera attending, in one of the local top-class hotels, a seminar where I had been sent as a young executive of an international organization. The purpose was to initiate the attendees to the latest theories for the best management of human resources (MHR). My neighbor had shaken hands with me the day before: an American- educated executive of an oil company from the Persian Gulf, and privately an obviously brillant and urbane gentleman. Hence his violent reaction and his utterance were all the more unexpected. But I had been myself increasingly irritated by the speaker of that morning. That lecturer had been introduced to us as having an evening tantric orgasm every time he could claim his regular work and schedule had been optimized better than the day before, allowing him to achieve more than his colleagues. And, of course, the greenhorns we were in his views were supposed to get the same from ourselves and the people we were managing. You can easily imagine him, full of his own importance, arrogantly deliver- ing thousand and one tricks to save time. As if we had been waiting for his advice to be as efficient as possible in our own context ... “Baloney!”, repeated my neighbor, having successfully interrupted the flow of words from the speaker.

His paternal grandfather, Sebald Kepler, was a respected craftsman who served as mayor of the city; his maternal grandfather, Melchior Guldenmann, was an innkeeper and mayor of the nearby village of Eltingen. His father, Heinrich Kepler, was "an immoral, rough and quarrelsome soldier," according to Kepler, and he described his mother in similar unattering terms. From 1574 to 1576 Johannes lived with his grandparents; in 1576 his parents moved to nearby Leonberg, where Johannes entered the Latin school. In 1584 he entered the Protestant seminary at Adelberg, and in 1589 he began his university education at the Protestant university of Tnx{00FC}bingen. Here he studied theology and read widely. He passed the M.A. examination in 1591 and continued his studies as a graduate student. Kepler's teacher in the mathematical subjects was Michael Maestlin (1580-1635). Maestlin was one of the earliest astronomers to subscribe to Copernicus's heliocentric theory, although in his university lectures he taught only the Ptolemaic system. Only in what we might call graduate seminars did he acquaint his students, among whom was Kepler, with the technical details of the Copernican system. Kepler stated later that at this time he became a Copernican for "physical or, if you prefer, metaphysical reasons." *Version 1.2: May 25, 2004 11:13 am -0500 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/1.0 http://cnx.org/content/m11962/1.2/ OpenStax-CNX module: m11962 2 In 1594 Kepler accepted an appointment as professor of mathematics at the Protestant seminary in Graz (in the Austrian province of Styria).

    The Rosette Gazette Volume 26,, IssueIssue 1 Newsletter of the Rose City Astronomers January, 2013 The Cosmological Spacetime Professor Fulvio Melia The "golden age" of relativity, from 1960 to 1974, was a period during which black holes were closely studied and understood. Cosmology today finds itself at a similar stage of development, with breathtaking observations now making it possible to more fully grasp the role played by general relativity in shaping our view of the origin and evolution of the cosmos as a whole. The Universe has much in common with black holes, and appears to be far simpler than once thought.
