The GAPS programme with HARPS-N at TNG. I. Observations of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and characterisation of the transiting system Qatar-1
- Citation
- Astronomy and Astrophysics, 554: 28
- Abstract
- Context. Our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems is still fragmentary because most of the current data provide limited information about the orbital structure and dynamics of these systems. The knowledge of the orbital properties for a variety of systems and at different ages yields information on planet migration and on star-planet tidal interaction mechanisms.
Aims: In this context, a long-term, multi-purpose, observational programme has started with HARPS-N at TNG and aims to characterise the global architectural properties of exoplanetary systems. The goal of this first paper is to fully characterise the orbital properties of the transiting system Qatar-1 as well as the physical properties of the star and the planet.
Methods: We exploit HARPS-N high-precision radial velocity measurements obtained during a transit to measure the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect in the Qatar-1 system, and out-of-transit measurements to redetermine the spectroscopic orbit. New photometric-transit light-curves were analysed and a spectroscopic characterisation of the host star atmospheric parameters was performed based on various methods (line equivalent width ratios, spectral synthesis, spectral energy distribution).
Results: We achieved a significant improvement in the accuracy of the orbital parameters and derived the spin-orbit alignment of the system; this information, combined with the spectroscopic determination of the host star properties (rotation, Teff, log g, metallicity), allows us to derive the fundamental physical parameters for star and planet (masses and radii). The orbital solution for the Qatar-1 system is consistent with a circular orbit and the system presents a sky-projected obliquity of λ = - 8.4 ± 7.1 deg. The planet, with a mass of 1.33 ± 0.05 MJ, is found to be significantly more massive than previously reported. The host star is confirmed to be metal-rich ([Fe/H] = 0.20 ± 0.10) and slowly rotating (vsinI = 1.7 ± 0.3 km s-1), though moderately active, as indicated by the strong chromospheric emission in the Ca ii H&K line cores (log R'HK ≈ -4.60).
Conclusions: We find that the system is well aligned and fits well within the general λ versus Teff trend. We can definitely rule out any significant orbital eccentricity. The evolutionary status of the system is inferred based on gyrochronology, and the present orbital configuration and timescale for orbital decay are discussed in terms of star-planet tidal interactions. Based on observations collected at the Italian Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG), operated on the island of La Palma by the Fundación Galileo Galilei of the INAF (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica) at the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, in the frame of the programme Global Architecture of Planetary Systems (GAPS).Also based on observations collected at Asiago Observatory, and Calar Alto Observatory.Full Table 3 is only available at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (ftp://22.214.171.124) or via http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz- bin/qcat?J/A+A/554/A28

Planet Occurrence within 0.25 AU of Solar-type Stars from Kepler
- Citation
- The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 201: 15
- Abstract
- We report the distribution of planets as a function of planet radius, orbital period, and stellar effective temperature for orbital periods less than 50 days around solar-type (GK) stars. These results are based on the 1235 planets (formally "planet candidates") from the Kepler mission that include a nearly complete set of detected planets as small as 2 R ?. For each of the 156,000 target stars, we assess the detectability of planets as a function of planet radius, R p, and orbital period, P, using a measure of the detection efficiency for each star. We also correct for the geometric probability of transit, R sstarf/a. We consider first Kepler target stars within the "solar subset" having T eff = 4100-6100 K, log g = 4.0-4.9, and Kepler magnitude Kp = 4100-6100 K, log g = 4.0-4.9, and Kepler magnitude Kp ?. We count planets in small domains of R p and P and divide by the included target stars to calculate planet occurrence in each domain. The resulting occurrence of planets varies by more than three orders of magnitude in the radius-orbital period plane and increases substantially down to the smallest radius (2 R ?) and out to the longest orbital period (50 days, ~0.25 AU) in our study. For P ) and out to the longest orbital period (50 days, ~0.25 AU) in our study. For P RR ? with kR = 2.9+0.5 - 0.4, ? = -1.92 ± 0.11, and R ? R p/R ?. This rapid increase in planet occurrence with decreasing planet size agrees with the prediction of core-accretion formation but disagrees with population synthesis models that predict a desert at super-Earth and Neptune sizes for close-in orbits. Planets with orbital periods shorter than 2 days are extremely rare; for R p > 2 R ? we measure an occurrence of less than 0.001 planets per star. For all planets with orbital periods less than 50 days, we measure occurrence of 0.130 ± 0.008, 0.023 ± 0.003, and 0.013 ± 0.002 planets per star for planets with radii 2-4, 4-8, and 8-32 R ?, in agreement with Doppler surveys. We fit occurrence as a function of P to a power-law model with an exponential cutoff below a critical period P 0. For smaller planets, P 0 has larger values, suggesting that the "parking distance" for migrating planets moves outward with decreasing planet size. We also measured planet occurrence over a broader stellar T eff range of 3600-7100 K, spanning M0 to F2 dwarfs. Over this range, the occurrence of 2-4 R ? planets in the Kepler field increases with decreasing T eff, with these small planets being seven times more abundant around cool stars (3600-4100 K) than the hottest stars in our sample (6600-7100 K). Based in part on observations obtained at the W. M. Keck Observatory, which is operated by the University of California and the California Institute of Technology.

Progress of Civilization, (painting)
- Notes
- Appears in exhibition catalog as entry no. 118
- A series of four paintings, illustrating the "Progress of Civilization," from the artist Sonntag, and owned by T. Day, are very expressive. In the first, we have a vast, wild mountain, steep and trackless, over which hover flocks of birds, and among whose rocks "the wild fox digs his hole unscared;" while perched on the extreme verge of a high cliff, on a dead limb, sits a solitary owl, contemplating the dismal waste about him. The second shows a group of Indians, scattered in their single shabby tent, some indolently basking in the sunshine, and others seeking a precarious livelihood by catching the fish of an adjoining river. In the third, a party of pioneers are pressing westward, through a country which is gemmed on all sides by countless, thriving log-cabins; and, lastly, we have a palatial private residence, in the suburbs of a great city, teeming with many-handed activity, and sending out on all sides streams of trade and travel. [P. 413; exhibited under heading: "Oil Paintings."]

Landscape--Northern Scenery, (painting)
- Notes
- Appears in exhibition catalog as entry no. 58
- The German critics pronounced this a grand work, and few may gainsay their judgment. It is impressive as a whole, while in detail it is a perfect series of pictures. The trees, the rocks, the rushing waters, the lonely log-house, the clouds, are each wrought with a distinctiveness which, considering the size of the whole, is wonderful. It is pronounced one of the most valuable landscapes--perhaps it is the most valuable--in the collection. It is not an unprofitable or uninteresting study to compare these landscapes with some in other collections, which must have attracted attention. The pre-eminence of the Dusseldorf masters must be conceded. [P. 23.]

Red Jacket, (painting)
- Notes
- Appears in exhibition catalog as entry no. 42
- Or Sagoyewatha, said to signify, "one who keeps awake," or simply "keeper awake," was born about the year 1756, at "Old Castle," now embraced in the town of Seneca, Ontario county, New York. For many years before his death he resided about four miles from Buffalo, and near the land reserved for the remnants of the Seneca nation. His house was a log cabin. Some of his tribe were Christians, but Red Jacket would never listen to anything of the kind. He acted a conspicuous part in the battle which took place at Fort George on 17th August, 1813. Nothing seemed to trouble Red-jacket more than the intrusion of Missionaries among his people, of which he make a formal complaint to the Governor of New York in 1821. The petition met with success, for no ministers were, for some time afterwards, admitted upon the reservation. He had become very intemperate, and died at his own house January 20, 1836, aged 80 years. [P. 12.]

It will open instantly when you approach and will close automatically in 3-second after debris has been released and hand moves away. Lid will remain open if debris or hand is within 6 inches range of the infrared sensor. There are 2 buttons on the front to open and close the lid manually and an on/off switch on the back of the trashcan.Smelly and oversized garbage doesn't stand a chance with the upgraded 13 gallon Touchless Trash Can. Its extra wide opening (11.75 diagonal) allows disposal of larger debris and comes equipped with the most advanced infrared sensor technology on the market; opening the lid automatically when you approach within 6 inches, and closing it when you walk away.

The Library Gingerbread Man
From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentThis story is about the Gingerbread Man who lives at 398.2 in the library. But he decides one day to run away. He runs through the aisles of the library encountering different characters in different sections of the library.
This book would be perfect for reading with a child while sitting at the library. It is a fast paced and interesting story that includes characters from different parts of the library such as a robot from 629.892. I think every school librarian should own a copy of this book. The illustrations are beautiful, colorful and fun.
As good as this book is, I don't think, however, that it would hold up well out of context for smaller children who do not already understand how to use the library's Dewey Decimal system.

The ScanLife barcode app by Scanbuy is a reliable barcode scanner that many users have been using especially since BBM has stopped being able to scan barcodes for many recently. Perhaps it's a bug in BBM or RIM has canceled the functionality in order to leave it up to third party developers. Either way, ScanLife is a decent alternative that has been updated to include digital coupons on every day products, prices and availability from local stores and detailed nutrition information from thousands of food products.

Tag: 2d barcodes
Sccope is a new price comparison and barcode-scanning app that's available in App World. The app lets consumers compare prices at some of the larger retailers including Best Buy, Walmart and Amazon. The app works by getting the user to enter the name of a product in the search field, browse through the shopping categories or take a photo of the barcode of the product in hand to check the price against Sccope's 10 million different price points. With a set of participating retailers, you can then navigate to the shopping pages to purchase the product. Users can also make a wish list, track prices and inventory through alerts and receive special offers.
Check out Sccope in App World, priced at $2.99.

Whenever we post a link about an app on BlackBerry Cool that you can download OTA, I'm sure there are many of you who pick up your BlackBerry and hit the site by typing it in your web browser. There is a much more fun way of downloading apps OTA and it involves 2D barcodes, or QR codes.
To do this, get a plugin that generates a QR code from a web link. With FireFox, a good plugin to use is Mobile Barcoder. Once you've downloaded and installed the plugin, it allows you to generate a qr code from a link with a simple right click.
Now that you can generate QR codes from links, you just need to scan them on your BlackBerry. For a good barcode scanner, see the BlackBerry Cool guide. I suggest adding the barcode scanner to a Convenience Key, so that with a touch of a button you can be downloading any app off the site.
Try it out with the foursquare beta app found at http://foursquare.com/blackberry/beta-pacman

On The Call: Citigroup Finance Chief John Gerspach
The Associated Press
Citigroup, the country's third-largest bank, on Monday turned in a third-quarter performance that beat Wall Street expectations and pushed its stock higher.
But executives were more cautious about the future than their stock price might suggest. On a conference call, Sanford C. Bernstein analyst John McDonald asked them what they'd need to feel more comfortable about the economy.
Chief financial officer John Gerspach replied that one cause for concern, among others, was the so-called fiscal cliff at the end of the year. That is when U.S. tax rates are set to rise and government spending to drop, unless Congress can work out a compromise before then. Gerspach also wasn't too certain that an upturn in mortgages, which dominated earnings reports from JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo last week, would be enough to rescue a struggling economy.
CITIGROUP CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER JOHN GERSPACH: "Get through the fiscal cliff and then the secondary factor would be that you'd like to see an economy that has got some real legs to it, one that's capable of creating jobs and actually driving down the real unemployment rate. I don't think we're in an economy where you're going to have housing lead the economy. I think you need the economy right now to lead the housing markets, and I'm not quite sure as to exactly how much of a robust nature we've got ... at this point in time."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Brilliant, multilingual guide (Francesca) and very interesting tour. Could have done without the marketing aspects where you get taken to wine places, but otherwise, excellent.
Judy H., Australia - September 23, 2013
Both of the cities are very interesting places to now. Siena is bigger and our guide, for the english group, was really great to show us the main places of the city and to tell the history of the city. A good thing was that the group were splited , one for english and other for spanish. San gimignano is a very tiny medieval city, with towers and several stores, gelatos, cafes. Very good!
Vivian A., Brazil - March 21, 2013
The tour to Siena and San Gimignano was superb. Stopping at just the two villages during a full-day tour gave us enough time to visit each. Siena Cathedral was a true spectacle. The towers of San Gimignano were also amazing, well worth climbing to catch the view. Guide Tiziana was a treat - it was a pleasure being able to share the day with her as she explained the history of the region. I highly recommend this tour.
Anonymous, USA - February 27, 2013
Excellent tour guides on the bus and in Siena.
Michael Sikorski S., USA - January 22, 2013
A great day out and a break from Florence. Siena is a nice place to walk around and has some good architecture. San Gimignano is lovely little town with some lovely views. Worth walking up the tower.
Jason N., United Kingdom - October 10, 2012
Amazing tour. Siena and San Gimignano are very beautiful and I did feel in a medieval movie. The guides of the agency are also very good.
Anonymous, Brazil - July 01, 2012
It was a great one-day excursion. Our guide worked very hard speaking 3 languages.
Anonymous, USA - June 01, 2012
Well organized tour. We had sufficient free time in Siena to do some shopping and to have lunch.
Anonymous, Canada - August 28, 2011
The tour was run by a company operating in Florence since the 1950s. Our experience was excellent. A guide from Florence was in charge, and she was organized and intelligent. In Siena, we English-speakers were guided by a native, Adele, who had studied art history at university. She was outstanding. Lunch with the group in Siena was optional. Although these tour lunches can be pretty bad, this one took us to an appealing restaurant that we might have chosen on our own, and the meal itself was a good value, including a Tuscan soup that I wouldn't have tried on my own, but did, in fact, enjoy. A good package for a day trip from Florence.
Anonymous, USA - June 27, 2011
The tour was well organised and left on time. The guide in Siena was particularly good as she was from the city and obviously had a passion for it. All in all a grand day out and we would highly recommend it.

Expanding and illuminating
September 12, 2014
The first structural component was put into place for the larger, light-filled facade of Shain Library.
It was cool in 1976
August 26, 2014
But the concrete facade was removed from Shain Library on Aug. 19. See the video above. Soon, the front of the building will feature a large bank of windows that will let in much more natural light.
An update from the vice president for administration
August 20, 2014
The following message was sent to students on Aug. 20 from Ulysses B. Hammond, vice president for administration:
Before you return to campus for the 2014-15 academic year, I wanted to give you an update on the renovations to Shain Library and what it means for you.
Work started this summer both inside and outside the building, and you'll come back to find Shain surrounded by construction fences that allow us to maintain a safe environment on campus. The "moat" in front of the building has been filled in to allow for the installation of a beautiful plaza, and the facade of the building has been removed, to be replaced by a large bank of windows that will let in much more natural light. Existing windows were removed and will be replaced by larger windows, and interior walls are being put into place for the new collaborative study spaces, classrooms and the Technology Commons.
There are many exciting changes ahead, and construction will continue throughout the year. Exterior work — which will include removing the roof of the building, among other projects — will continue through the end of November. On occasion, heavy equipment will be used, and there is the possibility the work will generate some noise. Every effort is being made to minimize disruption to our community, but some disturbances can be expected during such large-scale projects. We will alert you in advance of any substantial work that is scheduled to take place so you can plan study time and place accordingly.
After November, most of the renovation work will take place inside the sealed library and have little impact on the surrounding buildings and areas.
The contractors work from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays. Again, they know they are on a residential campus and make every effort to minimize any disruption their work could generate. The same firm managed construction of the science center at New London Hall and they are very familiar with Connecticut College and the needs of our community.
We have identified many alternate study spaces that offer opportunities to study away from the library. A guide and map showing these study spaces, as well as the locations of library services and other helpful information, will be distributed by your housefellow or floor governor upon your return to campus. And you can always find vital information and updates at www.conncoll.edu/shainreno.
NO PAIN, NO SHAIN. Our lighthearted motto during this project has a kernel of truth: There could be some occasional distractions while the library is renovated. But when Shain reopens in time for the Fall 2015 semester, Connecticut College will have a state-of-the-art library, full of technology-rich study spaces and tools and services to foster digital scholarship, as well as a beautiful look, comfortable furnishings and welcoming atmosphere.
Thank you in advance for helping make this project one of the most important in the College's history.
No pane, no Shain
August 1, 2014
The first of several windows to be removed from Shain Library was taken out on July 31. The replacement windows will be much larger to allow more natural light into the building. The window openings are covered during this part of construction to protect the books still inside.
No more moat
July 25, 2014
The space behind the new retaining wall in front of Shain Library has been filled it. This area will become the new walkway and outdoor plaza.
Shain renovation project boosted by grant from George I. Alden Trust
July 23, 2014
The George I. Alden Trust has awarded Connecticut College a $175,000 grant to enhance and expand technological resources available in Shain Library. The Alden Trust supports higher education by focusing on small, independent undergraduate colleges recognized for educational excellence and strong leadership.
The grant will support the state-of-the-art upgrades that are part of the ongoing renovations, including the addition of more comfortable, usable, technology-rich study spaces as well as new tools and services to foster digital scholarship.
PC Classroom takes shape
July 22, 2014
One of the busiest rooms on campus is one of the first to be reconstructed in Shain. Here are two views of the new PC Classroom: from outside (left) and from inside (right).
What's the plan?
July 11, 2014
Vice President for Administration Ulysses Hammond, President Katherine Bergeron and Adam Moore, senior project manager for KBE Building Corporation, review construction plans for Shain Library.
Don't mess around with the demolition man*
June 16, 2014
The sidewalks, patio and part of the bridge in front of Shain Library have been jackhammered into oblivion.
*With apologies to Sting.
Open for business
June 9, 2014
The temporary library headquarters is open for business! Visit Ernst Common Room in Blaustein Humanities Center for a reference desk staffed by librarians, a circulation desk for requesting and picking up materials, group study spaces and shared computer workstations. As the summer progresses, additional study spaces and computer areas are being set up to prepare for the 2014-15 academic year.

I'd like a true story or two on when you have been listened to especially well and what happened as a result, or when you have not been listened to and something negative happened as a result. I will change your name if you would prefer. I would really appreciate this! Love you all & this community. Send them to me at email@example.com

Singer Seal has accused his former wife and supermodel Heidi Klum of cheating him with her bodyguard.
In today's issue
Seal accuses Klum of cheating on him
Klum was spotted getting close to her bodyguard of four years, Martin Kristen
- Image Credit: Gulf News Archive
- Singer Seal with supermodel Heidi Klum.
Klum, 39, was recently on a family getaway to Sardinia, Italy, where she was spotted getting close to her bodyguard of four years, Martin Kristen.
Asked to comment on Klum's rumoured relationship with Kristen, Seal told tmz.com: "Whilst I didn't expect anything better from him [the bodyguard], I would of thought that Heidi would have shown a little more class and at least waited until we separated first before deciding to fornicate with the help, as it were."
The catwalk queen separated from Seal in January and filed for divorce in April. As for what might have caused the end of their marriage, he said, "I guess you all now have the answer you have been looking for for the last seven months."
"That's what happens when two people separate, they move on and generally meet other people in their lives," Seal, 49, told TMZ as he arrived at Los Angeles International Airport.
"I certainly don't expect Heidi to all of a sudden become a nun. But as always my main priority is the emotional well-being of my children, and to be quite honest if there is going to be someone else there in their lives there, I would much rather it was a familiar face," the singer said.

Midday Update: Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Fed?: StockTwits
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Philly Fed President Charles Plosser's hawkish remarks Tuesday were quickly forgotten as the major indices rallied ahead of the release of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee minutes at 2 p.m. ET.
Investors expected Madame Fed Chair Janet Yellen and other FOMC members to counter Plosser's call for a sooner-than-expected Interest rate hike with dovish statements about disappointing employment and the need for monetary accommodation.

Andrew Kassen (@andrewunknown) May. 21 at 10:08 AMThe S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq were all in the green Wednesday. However, small-cap stocks fell into the red, causing some on StockTwits.com to doubt the broader rally was sustainable. The iShares Russell 2000 (IWM) was the most discussed ticker on StockTwits by noon. It edged lower by noon.

Matt (@BetaBouncer) May. 21 at 12:11 PMSmall-caps are considered a harbinger by many for broader market performance. The theory is that when risk appetites shrink and concern for the greater market environment grows, investors will first choose to sell small-cap stocks that are more dependent on growth. Then they will move into large, established companies more likely to weather an economic slowdown. However, if sentiment continues to deteriorate, investors might move out of stocks altogether. Others on StockTwits said that, no matter what was said in the FOMC minutes, it would become clear that the Fed would not deviate from scaling back stimulus. And that news could spook investors with Plosser's warning in the back of their minds.

@talentryto- I have a friend who had laser treatments for her age spots, and she is very happy with the results. Her skin looks great, and she only had to undergo four treatments to achieve her goals.
If you decide to have laser treatments, you must keep in mind that the number you will need will depend on the severity and number of your age spots. The more you have and the darker they are, the more treatments you will need to get the results that you want. In turn, the more last treatments you have, the higher the total cost. Only you and your doctor can determine a treatment plan and a total cost for you.
As far as pain is concerned, my friend said that she only had minimal discomfort. Your doctor will most likely use a skin numbing cream before your treatments, so you shouldn't experience much pain but only mild, stinging sensations during the procedure. However, each person's reaction to laser treatments is different, so your doctor can also give you a good idea about what your experience may be like if you decide to have your age spots treated.

Delivery was pretty quick and the driver was friendly. I got the plain mac which was good and hot. I also got a ceasar salad. It was very fresh, but the dressing was fishy tasting, which is not my favorite. Good sized portions, overall I'd order from here again!
I ordered boneless wings. Wings were meh, fries weren't good at all. "Hot" apple pie was almost frozen,
Delivery within the given window, pizza was hot and super delicious!
