Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1988, in an article on the analysis of the measurements of the variations in the radial velocities of a number of stars, Campbell, Walker, and Yang reported an - teresting phenomenon;the radial velocity variations of Cephei seemed to suggest the existence of a Jupiter-like planet around this star. This was a very exciting and, at the same time, very surprising discovery. It was exciting because if true, it would have marked the detection of the ?rst planet outside of our solar system. It was surprising because the planet-hosting star is the primary of a binary system with a separation less than 19 AU, a distance comparable to the planetary distances in our solar system. The moderatelyclose orbit of the stellar companionof Cephei raised questions about the reality of its planet. The skepticism over the interpretation of the results (which was primarily based on the idea that binary star systems with small sepa- tions would not be favorable places for planet formation) became so strong that in a subsequent paper in 1992, Walker and his colleagues suggested that the planet in the Cephei binary might not be real, and the variations in the radial velocity of this star might have been due to its chromospheric activities.

Book Synopsis Planetary Habitability In Binary Systems by : Pilat-lohinger Elke
Download or read book Planetary Habitability In Binary Systems written by Pilat-lohinger Elke and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-02-27 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astrophysical research has led to the detection of thousands of planets outside the Solar System. About one-tenth of the extrasolar planets discovered so far reside in binary- or multi-stellar systems, and some of the closest known rocky exoplanets populate these multiple-star systems. While such environments seem good places to look for a second Earth, can Earth-like planets with two or more suns be habitable? And do solar system-like configurations have to be detected to find a habitable exo-Earth?This book addresses these questions. Starting with a brief overview of the various types of double star-planet configurations that have been observed so far, the book discusses the intriguing variety of planetary motion in such environments, taking into account the stellar type, evolution, and activity, and elaborates on how the presence of an additional stellar companion affects planet formation, system architectures and the habitability of planets in binary star systems. New methodologies developed in this area of research are explained and demonstrated for systems such as Alpha-Centauri, HD41004, Kepler-35, and many others. This monograph provides a grand entry to the exciting results that we expect from new missions like TESS, CHEOPS and Plato.

Book Synopsis Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems by : Linda M. French
Download or read book Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems written by Linda M. French and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-02-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is volume 3 of Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems, a six-volume compendium of modern astronomical research covering subjects of key interest to the main fields of contemporary astronomy. This volume on “Solar and Stellar Planetary Systems” edited by Linda French and Paul Kalas presents accessible review chapters From Disks to Planets, Dynamical Evolution of Planetary Systems, The Terrestrial Planets, Gas and Ice Giant Interiors, Atmospheres of Jovian Planets, Planetary Magnetospheres, Planetary Rings, An Overview of the Asteroids and Meteorites, Dusty Planetary Systems and Exoplanet Detection Methods. All chapters of the handbook were written by practicing professionals. They include sufficient background material and references to the current literature to allow readers to learn enough about a specialty within astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology to get started on their own practical research projects. In the spirit of the series Stars and Stellar Systems published by Chicago University Press in the 1960s and 1970s, each chapter of Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems can stand on its own as a fundamental review of its respective sub-discipline, and each volume can be used as a textbook or recommended reference work for advanced undergraduate or postgraduate courses. Advanced students and professional astronomers in their roles as both lecturers and researchers will welcome Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems as a comprehensive and pedagogical reference work on astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology.

Book Synopsis Evolutionary Processes in Binary and Multiple Stars by : Peter Eggleton
Download or read book Evolutionary Processes in Binary and Multiple Stars written by Peter Eggleton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-07-20 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Binary systems of stars are as common as single stars. Stars evolve primarily by nuclear reactions in their interiors, but a star with a binary companion can also have its evolution influenced by the companion. Multiple star systems can exist stably for millions of years, but can ultimately become unstable as one star grows in radius until it engulfs another. This volume, first published in 2006, discusses the statistics of binary stars; the evolution of single stars; and several of the most important kinds of interaction between two (and even three or more) stars. Some of the interactions discussed are Roche-lobe overflow, tidal friction, gravitational radiation, magnetic activity driven by rapid rotation, stellar winds, magnetic braking and the influence of a distant third body on a close binary orbit. A series of mathematical appendices gives a concise but full account of the mathematics of these processes.
Book Synopsis Atomic Diffusion in Stars by : Georges Michaud
Download or read book Atomic Diffusion in Stars written by Georges Michaud and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors give an overview of atomic diffusion as applied to all types of stars, showing where it plays an essential role and how it can be implemented in modelling. Part I describes the tools that are required to include atomic diffusion in models of stellar interiors and atmospheres. An important role is played by the gradient of partial radiative pressure, or radiative acceleration, which is usually neglected in stellar evolution. In Part II, the authors systematically review the contribution of atomic diffusion to each evolutionary step. The dominant effects of atomic diffusion are accompanied by more subtle effects on a large number of structural properties throughout evolution. The goal of this book is to provide the means for the astrophysicist or graduate student to evaluate the importance of atomic diffusion in a given star. A fundamental physical process, atomic diffusion can significantly affect the superficial abundances of stars and/or their evolution. This guide includes all the information needed to take proper account of atomic diffusion's impact.
Book Synopsis Habitable Planets for Man by : Stephen H. Dole
Download or read book Habitable Planets for Man written by Stephen H. Dole and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007-09 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Habitable Planets for Man examines and estimates the probabilities of finding planets habitable to man, where they might be found, and the number there may be in our own galaxy. The author presents in detail the characteristics of a planet that can provide an acceptable environment for humankind, itemizes the stars nearest the earth most likely to possess habitable planets, and discusses how to search for habitable planets. Interestingly for our time, he also gives an appraisal of the earth as a planet and describes how its habitability would be changed if some of its basic properties were altered. This is a reprint of an edition originally published in 1964.
Download or read book Star Core Zeus written by Rupert D. Holms and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-17 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: STAR CORE ZEUS is a message for everybody on this planet. A dark massive object called 'star-core-zeus' has been discovered approaching our solar-system. It is responsible for the cycle of catastrophic climate change. Star-core-zeus is the remains of the former companion star of the Sun, which blew up in a supernova four point six billion years ago. The debris from this explosion not only provided the materials to build the planets; it was the origin of crude oil and complex organic molecules, which triggered Life on Earth. Two hundred and fifty million years ago, star-core-zeus flew so close to Earth that it ripped-off fifty percent of the old crust, simultaneously gouging out the ocean basins. Pangaea was not a super-continent; it was the fractured remains of the old surface of the whole Earth. The crust fragments launched into space by star-core-zeus became our Moon. Star-core-zeus travels in a very eccentric and steeply-inclined orbit, like an enormous comet. Every four thousand years, it passes the Sun then flies-by Earth, violently disturbing our planet. The whole solar-system is experiencing climate-change. The global-warming on Earth, Mars, Neptune and Triton is heralding the arrival of star-core-zeus. The location, flight-path and estimated time of arrival of star-core-zeus are described in this book. The front cover of the book is an image of star-core-zeus with its grid reference.
