HAT-P-5b: Hot-Jupiter in Lyra
Oriel,
Announced in 2007, this low-density hot-Jupiter requires 175 minutes to transit its star at a depth of 13.2 mmag and requires only 67 hours for one complete orbit about its sun (ie. a very short "year"). http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Photomet...5-20110623.htm Anthony. |

Ah,the only Greek in history to imagine a wandering 'analemma' Sun in the same arena as the planets which are actually self-defining (through Greek) by virtue of their wandering nature or their apparent retrogrades which is resolved by the Earth's own orbital motion.This is why the word 'transit ' is specific to our own solar system as it involves the motion of two planets around the central Sun and only Mercury and Venus qualify by overtaking a moving Earth with the central Sun as a backdrop. So,what you learn today is a new word or qualifier,there is a primary transit which is restricted to our solar system and a secondary transit which is an inferred motion of an object around another star with the attributes of any exoplanet a scam .Hot Jupiter indeed,I wish you could extract the daily rotation of the Earth from the temperature data at Athens where the proportion of rotations for 4 years equates to 365 1/4 rotations per orbital circuit - http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/70? I come from an astronomical heritage,no nationalistic ideology intended,which is ancient and would do all I could to protect their achievements as I do for the Greek, English, Dutch ,Italian, Polish,Danish heritage even if I see readers disown the links each heritage and you especially.You want your weak applause and that is fine and there is no outward reward for countering the toxic strain of empiricism but that fight carries with it its own satisfaction that stands on its own and not behind a bandwagon or consensus ideology. I use quotes sparingly and almost always towards a positive message whereas invariably quotes are always directed in this direction as attempted insults but this following one I assent to as courage is not normally associated with astronomy when I assure you that it takes the greatest intellectual courage of all sciences to stand up in a public way for what is essentially an individual endeavor - "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." Roosevelt I would salute the observational guys who go outside and take in the celestial arena at night but they insist in throwing their lot in with people who do not diplay the slightest astronomical instincts and care nothing for a once noble and dignified astronomical heritage and dress this king of all sciences in conceptual rags.That is where your 'hot jupiter' leads to and you are welcome to it. |

He did not claim that the figure of the analemma would have been visible if he could somehow have made the starry background of the sky visible in his pictures - so he was not claiming that this apparent "analemma" motion is of the same nature or quality as even the apparent motions of the planets against the stars as seen from Earth, let alone their real motions.
