Transiting Planets (IAU S253)
Author: International Astronomical Union. Symposium
language: en
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Release Date: 2009-04-16
The discovery of planets around stars other than the Sun within the past 15 years has opened up one of the largest and most exciting new fields in modern astronomy. The transit method of detecting exoplanets has revealed more information about individual planets than any other method of detection. This volume, the proceedings of IAU Symposium 253, contains a description of the latest development in the field of transiting extrasolar planets. Topical reviews and short contributions from more than one hundred authors present the latest results in the field, from the photometric transit searches for transiting planets, through observational studies of these planets, to the consequences for theories of planet formation, evolution and planetary atmospheres. Presenting the latest research, it is an important resource for graduate students and researchers working in astronomy and planetary sciences.
The Lost Manuscript of Frédéric Cailliaud
The travel accounts of Frédéric Cailliaud were an important early contribution to the birth of Egyptology in the first half of the nineteenth century. But one of his major works was never published. For the first time here, his exquisite color plates are presented alongside a translation of his original French text. Arriving in Egypt in 1815, Cailliaud made copious notes on the flora and fauna, people and antiquities, and took a collection of over two thousand objects back to France. His beautifully rendered watercolors of scenes on ancient Egyptian tombs and temples show animated scenes of ancient daily life.
Ambassadors of the worlds
When Connar regains consciousness in the KLONDIKE's infirmary, after the imposed 'Distanceless Soul Transfer', he is confronted with a personal problem. Carolin, his wife, wants to return to Earth to her old world. Since she is now still in the year 2274 earth time calculation, a somewhat costly undertaking. In the same year, the humans in the Vega system encounter the Sa'lfenien race. A delegation led by Princess Sha'hon is invited to the Earth system. When the ship with the non-human emissaries reaches populated Mars, a young man is about to begin his studies at the local university. When, more by chance than anything else, he meets the princess Sha'hon, he is catapulted into an alien world so completely different from his previous life. He undergoes a parapsychic experiment when the consciousness, the spirit of Commander Tarik Connar takes over his body.
