Astrometric and photometric initial mass functions from the UKIDSS Galactic Clusters Survey - III. Praesepe
(2012-11-11)
Over the past decades open clusters have been the subject of many studies. Such studies are crucial considering that the universality of the initial mass function is still a subject of current investigations. Praesepe is ...
Evidence for nine planets in the HD 10180 system
(2012-07-01)
Aims. We re-analyse the HARPS radial velocities of HD 10180 and calculate the probabilities of models with differing numbers of periodic signals in the data. We test the significance of the seven signals, corresponding to ...
Astrometric and photometric initial mass functions from the UKIDSS Galactic Clusters Survey - I. The Pleiades
(2012-05-01)
We present the results of a deep wide-field near-infrared survey of the entire Pleiades cluster recently released as part of the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Galactic Clusters Survey (GCS) Data Release 9 (DR9). ...
Bayesian analysis of the radial velocities of HD 11506 reveals another planetary companion
(2009-03-01)
Aims. We aim to demonstrate the efficiency of a Bayesian approach in analysing radial velocity data by reanalysing a set of radial velocity measurements. Methods. We present Bayesian analysis of a recently published set ...
The complementarity of astrometrie and radial velocity exoplanet observations: : Determining exoplanet mass with astrometric snapshots
(2009-02)
Aims. It is commonly assumed that the two indirect exoplanet detection methods, the radial velocity method and astrometric method, require observational periods exceeding the orbital period to produce positive results. ...
Air mass modification over the Europe : EARLINET aerosol observations from Wales to Belarus
(2004-12-27)
For the first time, the vertically resolved aerosol optical properties of western and central/eastern European haze are investigated as a function of air mass transport. Special emphasis is put on clean maritime air masses ...
