ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS uvby Photometry of stars with planets
The use of Strömgren uvby photometry is proposed as a simple tool for the estimation of effective temperatures and metallicities in stars discovered to have planets. Previous photometric calibrations are tested with available spectroscopic measurements and their application to stars without high-resolution spectroscopy allowed the determination of metal abundances for 12 additional stars with p...
متن کاملSpectroscopy of Hi : planets , chaos and the Universe
This review discusses the molecular ion and its deuterated isotopomers. The ion is important because of its fundamental nature, astrophysical significance and dynamical richness. The following topics are discussed: the discovery of H l , its unusual bonding and the important role played by ab initio electronic-structure calculations; the formation of H: and its importance in models of the inter...
متن کاملA “Thinking Journey” to the Planets Using Scientific Visualization Technologies: Implications to Astronomy Education
We present a novel approach to teaching astronomy and planetary sciences, centered on visual images and simulations of planetary objects. The basic idea of the “Thinking Journey” concept is to take the students to other celestial objects as tourists, and to teach science through the observation of various natural phenomena in these new environments. The power of scientific visualization, throug...
متن کاملSurfing on the Edge: Chaos vs. Near-Integrability in the System of Jovian Planets
We demonstrate that the system of Jovian planets (Sun+Jupiter+Saturn+Uranus+Neptune), integrated for 200 million years as an isolated 5-body system using many sets of initial conditions all within the uncertainty bounds of their currently known positions, can display both chaos and near-integrability. The conclusion is consistent across four different integrators, including several comparisons ...

We demonstrate that the system of Sun and Jovian planets, integrated for 200 Myr as an isolated five-body system using many sets of initial conditions all within the uncertainty bounds of their currently known positions, can display both chaos and near-integrability. The conclusion is consistent across four different integrators, including several comparisons against integrations utilizing quad...
