- Description:
- Observational results are presented for Jupiter and its Galilean moons from the Normal Astrograph at Pulkovo Observatory in 2013-2015. The following data are obtained: 154 positions of the Galilean satellites and 47 calculated positions of Jupiter in the system of the UCAC4 (ICRS, J2000.0) catalogue; the differential coordinates of the satellites relative to one another are determined. The mean errors of the satellites normal places in right ascension and declination over the entire observational period are, respectively: (eps)RA=0.0065" and (eps)DE=0.0068", and their standard deviations are (sigm)RA=0.0804" and (sigm)DE=0.0845". The equatorial coordinates are compared with planetary and satellite motion theories. The average (O-C) residuals in the two coordinates relative to the motion theories are 0.05" or less. The best agreement with the observations is achieved by a combination of the EPM2011m and V. Lainey-V.2.0|V1.1 motion theories; the average (O-C) residuals are 0.03" or less. The (O-C) residuals for the features of the positions of Io and Ganymede are comparable with measurement errors. Jupiter's positions calculated from the observations of the satellites and their theoretical jovicentric coordinates are in good agreement with the motion theories. The (O-C) residuals for Jupiter's coordinates are, on average, 0.027" and -0.025" in the two coordinates.

- Description:
- Results of the Galilean moons observationals taken with Normal Astrograph of the Pulkovo Observatory in 2016-2017 are presented. 761 positions of the Galilean moons of Jupiter in the system of the Gaia DR1 catalog (ICRF, J2000.0) and 854 differential coordinates of the satellites relative to each other were obtained. The mean errors in the satellites' normal places and the corresponding root-mean-square deviations are (eps)RA=0.0020", (eps)DE=0.0027", (sigm)RA=0.0546", and (sigm)DE=0.0757". The equatorial coordinates of the moons are compared to the motion theories of planets and satellites. On average, the (O-C) residuals in the both coordinates relative to the motion theories are less than 0.031". The best agreement with observations is achieved by a combination of the EPM2015 and V. Lainey-V.2.0|V1.1 motion theories, which yields the average (O-C) residuals of approximately 0.02". Peculiarities in the behavior of the (O-C) residuals and error values in Ganymede have been noticed.

- Description:
- For observational period of 2009-2011 we have obtained 140 positions of Galilean satellites and 42 calculated positions of Jupiter in the system of UCAC4 catalogue (ICRS, J2000.0). Accuracy estimation gives error of mean position as 0.02-0.04". The resulting equatorial coordinates satellites were compared with the eight contemporary theories of the motion of planets and satellites. On average, the (O-C) residuals in both coordinates do not exceed 0.08" relative to all theories of motion. Comparison of the calculated equatorial coordinates of Jupiter (were obtained from observations of galilean satellites) with the INPOP10 theory of planetary motion has shown satisfactory results. The average deviations were obtained respectively (O-C)RA=0.040" and (O-C)DE=-0.053". This work was supported by the Program 22 of the Presidium of RAS and RFBR grant (12-02-00675-a).

- Description:
- We present the results of the Gemini Deep Planet Survey, a near-infrared adaptive optics search for giant planets and brown dwarfs around 85 nearby young stars. The observations were obtained with the Altair adaptive optics system at the Gemini North telescope, and angular differential imaging was used to suppress the speckle noise of the central star. Typically, the observations are sensitive to angular separations beyond 0.5" with 5{sigma} contrast sensitivities in magnitude difference at 1.6um of 9.5 at 0.5", 12.9 at 1", 15.0 at 2", and 16.5 at 5". These sensitivities are sufficient to detect planets more massive than 2M_{Jup}_ with a projected separation in the range 40-200AU around a typical target. Second-epoch observations of 48 stars with candidates (out of 54) have confirmed that all candidates are unrelated background stars. A detailed statistical analysis of the survey results is presented.

- Description:
- We present a targeted search for narrow-band (<5Hz) drifting sinusoidal radio emission from 86 stars in the Kepler field hosting confirmed or candidate exoplanets. Radio emission less than 5Hz in spectral extent is currently known to only arise from artificial sources. The stars searched were chosen based on the properties of their putative exoplanets, including stars hosting candidates with 380K>T_eq_>230K, stars with five or more detected candidates or stars with a super-Earth (R_p_<3R_{earth}_) in a >50 day orbit. Baseband voltage data across the entire band between 1.1 and 1.9GHz were recorded at the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope between 2011 February and April and subsequently searched offline. No signals of extraterrestrial origin were found. We estimate that fewer than ~1% of transiting exoplanet systems host technological civilizations that are radio loud in narrow-band emission between 1 and 2GHz at an equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) of ~1.5x10^21^erg/s, approximately eight times the peak EIRP of the Arecibo Planetary Radar, and we limit the number of 1-2GHz narrow-band-radio-loud Kardashev type II civilizations in the Milky Way to be <10^-6^/M_{sun}_. Here we describe our observations, data reduction procedures and results.

- Description:
- This Letter outlines a simple approach to evaluate habitability of terrestrial planets by assuming different types of planetary atmospheres and using corresponding model calculations. Our approach can be applied for current and future candidates provided by the Kepler mission and other searches. The resulting uncertainties and changes in the number of planetary candidates in the habitability zone (HZ) for the Kepler 2011 February data release are discussed. To first order, the HZ depends on the effective stellar flux distribution in wavelength and time, the planet albedo, and greenhouse gas effects. We provide a simple set of parameters which can be used for evaluating future planet candidates from transit searches.

- Description:
- Habitable planets are likely to be broadly Earth-like in composition, mass, and size. Masses are likely to be within a factor of a few of the Earth's mass. Currently, we do not have sufficiently sensitive techniques to detect Earth-mass planets, except in rare circumstances. It is thus necessary to model the known exoplanetary systems. In particular, we need to establish whether Earth-mass planets could be present in the classical habitable zone (HZ) or whether the giant planets that we know to be present would have gravitationally ejected Earth-mass planets or prevented their formation. We have answered this question by applying computer models to the 152 exoplanetary systems known by 2006 April 18 that are sufficiently well characterized for our analysis. For systems in which there is a giant planet, inside the HZ, which must have arrived there by migration, there are two cases: (1) where the migration of the giant planet across the HZ has not ruled out the existence of Earth-mass planets in the HZ; and (2) where the migration has ruled out existence. For each case, we have determined the proportion of the systems that could contain habitable Earth-mass planets today, and the proportion for which this has been the case for at least the past 1000Myr (excluding any early heavy bombardment). For case 1 we get 60% and 50%, respectively, and for case 2 we get 7% and 7%, respectively.

- Description:
- Planetary companions of a fixed mass induce reflex motions with a larger amplitude around lower-mass stars, which adds to making M dwarfs excellent targets for extra-solar planet searches. The most recent velocimeters with a stability of can detect very low-mass planets out to the habitable zone of these stars. Low-mass small planets are abundant around M dwarfs, and most of the known potentially habitable planets orbit one of these cool stars. Our M-dwarf radial velocity monitoring with HARPS on the ESO 3.6m telescope at La Silla observatory makes a major contribution to this sample. We present here dense radial velocity (RV) time series for three M dwarfs observed over ~five years: GJ 3293 (0.42M_{sun}_), GJ 3341 (0.47M_{sun}_), and GJ 3543 (0.45M_{sun}_). We extracted these RVs through minimum chi^2^ -matching of each spectrum against a stack of all observed spectra for the same star that has a high S/N ratio. We then compared potential orbital signals against several stellar activity indicators to distinguish the Keplerian variations induced by planets from the spurious signals that result from rotational modulation of stellar surface inhomogeneities and from activity cycles.

- Description:
- Doppler spectroscopy has uncovered or confirmed all the known planets orbiting nearby stars. Two main techniques are used to obtain precision Doppler measurements at optical wavelengths. The first approach is the gas cell method, which consists of least-squares matching of the spectrum of iodine imprinted on the spectrum of the star. The second method relies on the construction of a stabilized spectrograph externally calibrated in wavelength. The most precise stabilized spectrometer in operation is the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS), operated by the European Southern Observatory in La Silla Observatory, Chile. The Doppler measurements obtained with HARPS are typically obtained using the cross-correlation function (CCF) technique. This technique consists of multiplying the stellar spectrum by a weighted binary mask and finding the minimum of the product as a function of the Doppler shift. It is known that CCF is suboptimal in exploiting the Doppler information in the stellar spectrum. Here we describe an algorithm to obtain precision radial velocity measurements using least-squares matching of each observed spectrum to a high signal-to-noise ratio template derived from the same observations. This algorithm is implemented in our software HARPS-TERRA (Template-Enhanced Radial velocity Re-analysis Application). New radial velocity measurements on a representative sample of stars observed by HARPS are used to illustrate the benefits of the proposed method. We show that, compared with CCF, template matching provides a significant improvement in accuracy, especially when applied to M dwarfs.

- Description:
- In this paper, we present our HARPS radial-velocity data for eight low-activity solar-type stars belonging to the HARPS volume-limited sample: HD6718, HD8535, HD28254, HD290327, HD43197, HD44219, HD148156, and HD156411. Keplerian fits to these data reveal the presence of low-mass companions around these targets. With minimum masses ranging from 0.58 to 2.54M_{Jup}_, these companions are in the planetary mass domain. The orbital periods of these planets range from slightly less than one to almost seven years. The eight orbits presented in this paper exhibit a wide variety of eccentricities: from 0.08 to above 0.8.
