We present precise radial velocity observations of WASP-47, a star known to host a hot Jupiter, a distant Jovian companion, and, uniquely, two additional transiting planets in short-period orbits: a super-Earth in a ≈19 hr orbit, and a Neptune in a ≈9 day orbit. We analyze our observations from the HARPS-N spectrograph along with previously

Knowledge of the rigidity dependence of the boron to carbon flux ratio (B/C) is important in understanding the propagation of cosmic rays. The precise measurement of the B /C ratio from 1.9 GV to 2.6 TV, based on 2.3 million boron and 8.3 million carbon nuclei collected by AMS during the first 5 years of operation, is presented. The detailed

We give an overview of the spectral reduction pipeline that will be used to process the data of the échelle spectrograph of the SONG-OT telescope node of the SONG (Stellar Observations Network Group) network on Tenerife. In particular, we focus on the iodine absorption cell technique to derive precise radial velocity measurements. The telescope and

For the first time a principle-component analysis is used to separate out different orthogonal modes of the two-particle correlation matrix from heavy ion collisions. The analysis uses data from √{sNN}=2.76 TeV PbPb and √{sNN}=5.02 TeV p Pb collisions collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Two-particle azimuthal

The software package ELSPEC/1 written at Trieste Astronomical Observatory for the automatic reduction of spectrograms digitized by a PDS 1010A microdensitometer is described and an example of the results obtained is shown. The package accepts spectrograms in the format of the Observatoire de Hauts Provence and operates on a HP 2100A minicomputer.
