Sipocz˝ 4,1 Draft version September 18, 2006 – VERSION Accepted for publication in ApJ ABSTRACT Using small automated telescopes in Arizona and Hawaii, the HATNet project has detected an object transiting one member of the double star system ADS 16402. This system is a pair of G0 main-sequence stars with age about 3 Gyr at a distance of ∼139 pc and projected separation of ∼1550 AU. The transit signal has a period of 4.46529 days and depth of 0.015 mag. From follow-up photometry and spectroscopy, we find that the object is a “hot Jupiter” planet with mass about 0.53 MJ and radius ∼1.36 RJ traveling in an orbit with semimajor axis 0.055 AU and inclination about 85◦.9, thus transiting the star at impact parameter 0.74 of the stellar radius. Based on a data set spanning three years, ephemerides for the transit center are: TC = 2453984.397+ Ntr ∗ 4.46529. The planet, designated HAT-P-1b, appears to be at least as large in radius, and smaller in mean density, than any previously-known planet.

  • Making Personalization Feel More Personal: a Four-Step Cycle for Advancing the User Experience of Personalized Recommenders and Adaptive Systems
    604 Chapter 31 Making Personalization Feel More Personal: A Four-Step Cycle for Advancing the User Experience of Personalized Recommenders and Adaptive Systems Shailendra Rao Stanford University, USA Jeremy N. Bailenson Stanford University, USA Clifford Nass Stanford University, USA AbstrAct The gold standard for customer service is catering to each individual’s unique needs. This means pro- viding them undivided attention and helping them find what they want as well as what they will like, based on their prior history. An illustrative metaphor of the ideal interpersonal relationship between retailers and consumers is the “sincere handshake,” welcoming a familiar face to a familiar place and saying goodbye until next time, best symbolizes an ideal interpersonal relationship between retailers and consumers. In this chapter the authors offer a four-step cycle of this personalization process, which abstracts the key elements of this handshake in order to make it possible in mass digital consumerism. This model offers an ideal framework for drawing out the key lessons learned from the two previous stages of media evolution, Micro and Mass, as well as from social science and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) to inform the design and further the understanding of the rich capabilities of the current age of Digital Consumerism.

  • Exoplanet Detection Techniques
    Exoplanet Detection Techniques Debra A. Fischer1, Andrew W. Howard2, Greg P. Laughlin3, Bruce Macintosh4, Suvrath Mahadevan5;6, Johannes Sahlmann7, Jennifer C. Yee8 We are still in the early days of exoplanet discovery. Astronomers are beginning to model the atmospheres and interiors of exoplanets and have developed a deeper understanding of processes of planet formation and evolution. However, we have yet to map out the full complexity of multi-planet architectures or to detect Earth analogues around nearby stars. Reaching these ambitious goals will require further improvements in instru- mentation and new analysis tools. In this chapter, we provide an overview of five observational techniques that are currently employed in the detection of exoplanets: optical and IR Doppler measurements, transit pho- tometry, direct imaging, microlensing, and astrometry. We provide a basic description of how each of these techniques works and discuss forefront developments that will result in new discoveries. We also highlight the observational limitations and synergies of each method and their connections to future space missions. Subject headings: 1.
