HAT-P-50b, HAT-P-51b, HAT-P-52b, and HAT-P-53b: Three Transiting Hot Jupiters and a Transiting Hot Saturn From the HATNet Survey
We report the discovery and characterization of four transiting exoplanets by
the HATNet survey. The planet HAT-P-50b has a mass of 1.35 M_J and a radius of
1.29 R_J, and orbits a bright (V = 11.8 mag) M = 1.27 M_sun, R = 1.70 R_sun
star every P = 3.1220 days. The planet HAT-P-51b has a mass of 0.31 M_J and a
radius of 1.29 R_J, and orbits a V = 13.4 mag, M = 0.98 M_sun, R = 1.04 R_sun
star with a period of P = 4.2180 days. The planet HAT-P-52b has a mass of 0.82
M_J and a radius of 1.01 R_J, and orbits a V = 14.1 mag, M = 0.89 M_sun, R =
0.89 R_sun star with a period of P = 2.7536 days. The planet HAT-P-53b has a
mass of 1.48 M_J and a radius of 1.32 R_J, and orbits a V = 13.7 mag, M = 1.09
M_sun, R = 1.21 R_sun star with a period of P = 1.9616 days. All four planets
are consistent with having circular orbits and have masses and radii measured
to better than 10% precision. The low stellar jitter and favorable R_P/R_star
ratio for HAT-P-51 make it a promising target for measuring the
Rossiter-McLaughlin effect for a Saturn-mass planet.Comment: Submitted to AJ. 20 pages, 9 figures, 5 tables. Data available at

Searching for young Jupiter analogs around AP Col: L-band high-contrast imaging of the closest pre-main sequence star
The nearby M-dwarf AP Col was recently identified by Riedel et al. 2011 as a
pre-main sequence star (age 12 - 50 Myr) situated only 8.4 pc from the Sun. The
combination of its youth, distance, and intrinsically low luminosity make it an
ideal target to search for extrasolar planets using direct imaging. We report
deep adaptive optics observations of AP Col taken with VLT/NACO and Keck/NIRC2
in the L-band. Using aggressive speckle suppression and background subtraction
techniques, we are able to rule out companions with mass m >= 0.5 - 1M_Jup for
projected separations a>4.5 AU, and m >= 2 M_Jup for projected separations as
small as 3 AU, assuming an age of 40 Myr using the COND theoretical
evolutionary models. Using a different set of models the mass limits increase
by a factor of ~2. The observations presented here are the deepest
mass-sensitivity limits yet achieved within 20 AU on a star with direct
imaging. While Doppler radial velocity surveys have shown that Jovian bodies
with close-in orbits are rare around M-dwarfs, gravitational microlensing
studies predict that ~17% of these stars host massive planets with orbital
separations of 1-10 AU. Sensitive high-contrast imaging observations, like
those presented here, will help to validate results from complementary
detection techniques by determining the frequency of gas giant planets on wide
orbits around M-dwarfs.Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ, 6 pages text ApJ style (incl.

The food of the larvae of the northern anchovy Engraulis mordax
ENGLISH: Hitherto the only investigation dealing with the food and feeding of the larvae of the northern anchovy, Engraulis mordax Girard, was that of Arthur (1956). His main consideration was, however, with the Pacific sardine, Sardinops caerulea (Girard), and his work on the anchovy can only be considered preliminary. The present investigation is a continuation of Arthur's work on the food of the larval northern anchovy.
SPANISH:El único trabajo publicado hasta ahora que trata sobre el alimento y nutrición de las larvas de la anchoa norteña, Engraulis mordax Girard, es el de Arthur (1956); pero su objeto principal fué la sardina del Pacifico, Sardinops caendea (Girard), y el estudio dedicado a la anchoa solo puede considerarse como preliminar. La presente investigación es una continuación del estudio de Arthur sobre el alimento de las larvas de la anchoa norteña
