Rossby Wave Instability in Accretion Discs with Large-Scale Poloidal Magnetic Fields

Cong Yu, Dong Lai

We study the effect of large-scale magnetic fields on the non-axisymmetric Rossby wave instability (RWI) in accretion discs. The instability develops around a density bump, which i…

The Principle of Navigation Constellation Composed of SIGSO Communication Satellites

Hai-Fu Ji, Li-Hua Ma, Guo-Xiang Ai +1

The Chinese Area Positioning System (CAPS), a navigation system based on GEO communication satellites, was developed in 2002 by astronomers at Chinese Academy of Sciences. Extensiv…

From dust to planetesimals: an improved model for collisional growth in protoplanetary disks

Pascale Garaud, Farzana Meru, Marina Galvagni +1

Planet formation occurs within the gas and dust rich environments of protoplanetary disks. Observations of these objects show that the growth of primordial sub micron sized particl…

High-precision photometry by telescope defocussing. IV. Confirmation of the huge radius of WASP-17b

John Southworth, M Dominik, X-S Fang +29

We present photometric observations of four transits in the WASP-17 planetary system, obtained using telescope defocussing techniques and with scatters reaching 0.5 mmag per point.…

The Transiting System GJ1214: High-Precision Defocused Transit Observations and a Search for Evidence of Transit Timing Variation

K. B. W. Harpsøe, S. Hardis, T. C. Hinse +37

Aims: We present 11 high-precision photometric transit observations of the transiting super-Earth planet GJ1214b. Combining these data with observations from other authors, we inve…

A New Type of Ambiguity in the Planet and Binary Interpretations of Central Perturbations of High-Magnification Gravitational Microlensing Events

J. -Y. Choi, I. -G. Shin, C. Han +118

High-magnification microlensing events provide an important channel to detect planets. Perturbations near the peak of a high-magnification event can be produced either by a planet…

Rossby Wave Instability in three dimensional discs

H. Meheut, C. Yu, D. Lai

The Rossby wave instability (RWI) is a promising mechanism for producing large-scale vortices in protoplanetary discs. The instability operates around a density bump in the disc, a…

Bursty Variations of Jovian 6cm Radio Emissions and Quasi-Periodic Jupiter's Polar Activities

Yu-Qing Lou, Huagang Song, Yinyu Liu +1

In reference to Jupiter south polar quasi-periodic 40-50 min (QP-40) activities and the model scenario for global QP-40 oscillations of the Jovian inner radiation belt (IRB), we va…
