Extrasolar Planets

South Korea's first very long baseline interferometry array is being completed this week. Linked to arrays in Japan and China, Korea's three instruments will fill out the densest network of its kind. Author: Dennis Normile  

Mon. Not. Roy. Astron. Soc. , Vol. 316 , pp. 885-900. rleiton Abstract 39 galaxies are now known, from follow-up of faint IRAS sources and from submillimetre observations of high-redshift AGN, with far-infrared ...  

The evidence cited was a sharply defined inner edge of the large dust ring, similar to our solar system's Kuiper Belt, surrounding the star. ...  

The recently completed Sloan Digital Sky Survey produced digital images of galaxies, quasars and other distant cosmic objects covering one-fifth of the entire sky. Mark SubbaRao and Miguel Aragon-Calvo explain how astronomers are using these data to create accurate maps of the universe  

Astronomy magazine's offices are located in an office park off I-94 in Waukesha, Wisconsin.  

Fox described himself as the head of the astronomy science team that worked on the agreement. He credited UH-Hilo Chancellor Rose Tseng, ...  

On the heels of the first photographs of planets orbiting other stars comes another first for so-called extrasolar planets: an atmosphere containing carbon dioxide (CO2). Nature News and Science News report that a forthcoming journal article will detail the discovery of CO2 around HD 189733 b, a...  

Beautiful new images reveal our first visual glimpse that other solar systems share planets just like ours does...  

Astronomers have taken the first direct images of planets outside of our solar system.  

First images of planetary system beyond the solar system released  

Two teams of astronomers made stunning claims yesterday that they have separately obtained images of planets orbiting two different stars in our galaxy.  

Astronomers have taken what they say are the first-ever direct images of planets outside of our solar system, including a visible-light snapshot of a single-planet system and an infrared picture of a multiple-planet system.  

Scientists have taken images of multiple planets orbiting a star other than our own sun. One extrasolar system reportedly has three planets; another star, 25 light-years away from Earth, has one planet in its orbit.  

Two groups of astronomers have taken the first pictures of what they believe are planets going around other stars.  

Two groups of researchers searching for extrasolar planets--planets orbiting stars other than our own sun--laid claim today to an astronomy milestone: photographing extrasolar planets directly, rather than inferring their presence through effects on their parent stars. [More]
