Detection of terrestrial planets and moons with the photometric transit method
An overview is given over the photometric transit method for the detection of extraterrestrial planets. Discussed are: its basic principals, its derivable...
Detection of the 2175Å extinction feature in a lens galaxy at z = 0.83
We determine the extinction curve in the zl = 0.83 lens galaxy of the gravitational lens SBS 0909+532 from the wavelength dependence of the flux ratio between...
Detection of the Effect of Cosmological Large--Scale Structure on the Orientation of Galaxies
Galaxies are not distributed randomly throughout space but are instead arranged in an intricate "cosmic web" of filaments and walls surrounding bubble-like...
Detection of the PSR J1741+1351 white dwarf companion with the Gran Telescopio Canarias
We report detection of the binary companion to the millisecond pulsar J1741+1351 with the Gran Telescopio Canarias. The optical source position coincides with...
Detection of variable circular polarization in the SW Sex star V795 Herculis
We report the detection of modulated circular polarization in V795 Her. The degree of polarization increases with wavelength and is modulated with a period of...
Detection of Very-High Energy Gamma-Rays from the BL Lac Object PG 1553+113 with the MAGIC Telescope
The MAGIC telescope has observed very high energy gamma-ray emission from the BL Lac object PG 1553+113 in 2005 and 2006 at an overall significance is 8.8 sigma...
Detection of Vortex Tubes in Solar Granulation from Observations SUNRISE
We investigated a time series of continuum intensity maps and Dopplergrams of granulation in a very quiet solar region at the disk center, recorded with the...
