Description
The star 55 Cancri was one of the first known exoplanet hosts and each of the planets in this system is remarkable. Planets b and c are in a near 1:3 resonance. Planet d has a 14.5 year orbit, and is one of the longest known orbital periods for a gas giant planet. Planet e has a mass of 8 M? and transits this bright star, providing a unique case for modeling of the interior structure and atmospheric composition of an exoplanet. Planet f resides in the habitable zone of the star. If the planets are approximately co-planar, then by virtue of having one transiting planet, this is a system where the Doppler technique has essentially measured the true mass of the planets, rather than just Msin i. The unfolding history of planet discovery for this system provides a good example of the challenges and importance of understanding the star to understand the planets.

    The completeness of stellar spectral libraries in all stellar evolutionary phases, parameter space (effective temperature, surface gravity, global metallicity) and chemical abundances, is required to build more sophisticated stellar population synthesis models to decode the enclosed information of galaxies of varying types. On the hand, due to

    Insights from super-metal-rich stars: Is the Milky Way bar young?
    Context: Bar formation and merger events can contribute to the rearrangement of stars within the Galaxy in addition to triggering star formation (SF) epochs. Super-metal-rich (SMR) stars found in the solar neighbourhood (SNd) can be used as tracers of such events as they are expected to originate only in the inner Galaxy and to have definitely

    At the edge of source confusion in optical astronomy with new ultra-deep imaging surveys
    The deepest ground-based optical surveys (in terms of surface brightness mu~31 mag/arcsec^2) show that we are close to the dreaded source confusion limit. The typical distance between sources in these images is a few arcseconds, on the order of the natural seeing in these images. When this source confusion limit is reached, low surface brightness
