Description:
We report the discovery of two transiting exoplanets from the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) survey, WASP-150b and WASP-176b. WASP-150b is an eccentric (e=0.38) hot Jupiter on a 5.6day orbit around a V=12.03, F8 main-sequence host. The host star has a mass and radius of 1.4M_{sun}_ and 1.7R_{sun}_ respectively. WASP-150b has a mass and radius of 8.5M_J_ and 1.1R_J_, leading to a large planetary bulk density of 6.4{rho}_J_. WASP-150b is found to be ~3Gyr old, well below its circularization timescale, supporting the eccentric nature of the planet. WASP-176b is a hot Jupiter planet on a 3.9day orbit around a V=12.01, F9 sub-giant host. The host star has a mass and radius of 1.3M{sun} and 1.9R{sun}. WASP-176b has a mass and radius of 0.86M_J_ and 1.5R_J_, respectively, leading to a planetary bulk density of 0.23{rho}_J_.

Description:
We report on speckle observations of binary stars carried out at the WIYN Telescope over the period from 2010 September through 2012 February, providing relative astrometry for 2521 observations of 883 objects, 856 of which are double stars and 27 of which are triples. The separations measured span a range of 0.01-1.75 arcsec. Wavelengths of 562, 692, and 880 nm were used, and differential photometry at one or more of these wavelengths is presented in most cases. 66 components were resolved for the first time. We also estimate detection limits at 0.2 and 1.0 arcsec for high-quality observations in cases where no companion was seen, a total of 176 additional objects. Detection limits vary based on observing conditions and signal-to-noise ratio, but are approximately 4 mag at 0.2 arcsec and 6 mag at 1.0 arcsec on average. Analyzing the measurement precision of the data set, we find that the individual separations obtained have linear measurement uncertainties of approximately 2 mas, and photometry is uncertain to approximately 0.1 mag in general. This work provides fundamental, well-calibrated data for future orbit and mass determinations, and we present three first orbits and total mass estimates of nearby K-dwarf systems as examples of this potential.
We present results of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope adaptive optics (AO) search for companions of a homogeneous group of contact binary stars, as a contribution to our attempts to prove the hypothesis that these binaries require a third star to become as close as observed.
We recently reported the photometric and spectroscopic detection of the primary transit of the 111-day-period, eccentric extra-solar planet HD 80606b, at Observatoire de Haute-Provence, France. The whole egress of the primary transit and a section of its central part were observed, allowing the measurement of the planetary radius, and evidence for a spin-orbit misalignment through the observation of the Rossiter-McLaughlin anomaly. The ingress not having been observed for this long-duration transit, uncertainties remained in the parameters of the system. We present here a refined, combined analysis of our photometric and spectroscopic data, together with further published radial velocities, ground-based photometry, and Spitzer photometry around the secondary eclipse, as well as new photometric measurements of HD 80606 acquired at Mount Hopkins, Arizona, just before the beginning of the primary transit.
This catalog of O and B stars contains magnitudes, colors, spectral types and polarization for 1259 stars. In addition to observations, the catalogue contains the derived absorption and distance modulus. A photoelectric photometer attached to the 82-inch (2m) reflector of the McDonald Observatory was used for the polarization observations. The photometric UBV observations were made over a period of 4 years with the 13-inch (33cm) and the 82-inch telescopes at McDonald. The spectroscopic classification was made with a new camera installed on the Cassegrain spectrograph, with a dispersion of 86{AA}/mm at H{delta}.
In this paper we describe the observations of the mutual phenomena of the Galilean Satellites of Jupiter performed at the Royal Observatory of Belgium, as part of the PHEMU97 and PHEMU03 campaigns. The paper describes the observational technique, the data reduction and summarises the results obtained.
The period changes of 86 M5 RR Lyrae stars have been investigated on a 100-yr time base. The published observations have been supplemented by archival Asiago, Konkoly and Las Campanas photographic observations obtained between 1952 and 1993.
We present the results of SiO millimeter line observations of a sample of known SiO maser sources covering a wide dust temperature range. A cold part of the sample was selected from the SiO maser sources found in our recent SiO maser survey of cold dusty objects. The aim of the present research is to investigate the causes of the correlation between infrared colors and SiO maser intensity ratios among different transition lines. In particular, the correlation between infrared colors and SiO maser intensity ratio among the J=1-0 v=1, 2, and 3 lines are our main concern in this paper. We observed in total 75 SiO maser sources with the Nobeyama 45m telescope quasi-simultaneously in the SiO J=1-0 v=0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and J=2-1 v=1, 2 lines. We also observed the sample in the ^29^SiO J=1-0 v=0 and J=2-1 v=0 lines, ^30^SiO J=1-0 v=0 line, and the H_2_O 61,6-52,3 line.
This file contains magnitudes from nearly 50,000 40 second observations of the rapidly oscillating Ap star HR 1217 obtained during nearly 600 hours of observation at various observatories from 1980 to 1986. Most of the observations were made through Johnson B filters, but some were made through other filters. All data in this file were included in a paper entitled The high-overtone p-mode spectrum of the rapidly oscillating Ap star HR 1217 (HD 24712) by Kurtz et al. (1989MNRAS.240..881K) and described in the CDS Inf. Bull. (Kurtz 1989). Much of the information published in Kurtz et al. (1989) had been gathered from previously published literature, and some had been obtained by a team established for that paper. Each record holds one observation with the Heliocentric Julian Date given to 5 decimal accuracy and the magnitude given to 4 decimal accuracy. The observations are grouped so that all observations from a single night from each observatory are listed together. The data published in Kurtz et al. (1989) included observations previously published as follows: Julian Dates Source of data ------------ -------------- JD2444540-2444643 Kurtz (1982MNRAS.200..807K) JD2444849-2444953 Kurtz & Seeman (1983MNRAS.205...11K) JD2445661-2445664 H.
