On identifying the neutron star that was born in the supernova that placed 60Fe onto the Earth

Recently, 60Fe was found in the Earth crust formed in a nearby recent supernova (SN). If the distance to the SN and mass of the progenitor of that SN was known, then one could constrain SN models. Knowing the positions, proper motions, and distances of dozens of young nearby neutron stars, we can determine their past flight paths and possible kinematic origin. Once the birth place of a neutron star in a SN is found, we would have determined the distance of the SN and the mass of the SN progenitor star.Comment: refereed NPA5 conference proceedings, in pres

Transit timing variation and activity in the WASP-10 planetary system

Transit timing analysis may be an effective method of discovering additional bodies in extrasolar systems which harbour transiting exoplanets. The deviations from the Keplerian motion, caused by mutual gravitational interactions between planets, are expected to generate transit timing variations of transiting exoplanets. In 2009 we collected 9 light curves of 8 transits of the exoplanet WASP-10b. Combining these data with published ones, we found that transit timing cannot be explained by a constant period but by a periodic variation. Simplified three-body models which reproduce the observed variations of timing residuals were identified by numerical simulations. We found that the configuration with an additional planet of mass of $\sim$0.1 $M_{\rm{J}}$ and orbital period of $\sim$5.23 d, located close to the outer 5:3 mean motion resonance, is the most likely scenario. If the second planet is a transiter, the estimated flux drop will be $\sim$0.3 per cent and can be observable with a ground-based telescope. Moreover, we present evidence that the spots on the stellar surface and rotation of the star affect the radial velocity curve giving rise to spurious eccentricity of the orbit of the first planet. We argue that the orbit of WASP-10b is essentially circular. Using the gyrochronology method, the host star was found to be $270 \pm 80$ Myr old. This young age can explain the large radius reported for WASP-10b.Comment: MNRAS accepte

Meteor radar wind and temperature measurements over Collm (51.3°N, 13°E) and comparison with co-located LF drift measurements during autumn 2004

Seit Juli 2004 wird an der Außenstelle Collm der Universität Leipzig kontinuierlich ein Meteorradar zur Messung des Windes und der Temperatur im Höhenbereich 80-100 km betrieben. Die Messungen dienen der Überwachung der Dynamik der Mesopausenregion, und ihrer Änderungen auf Zeitskalen von Tagen und Jahren. Erste Ergebnisse vom Herbst 2004 werden dargestellt, verglichen mit den ebenfalls am Collm durchgeführten Langewellenreflexionswindmessungen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die vertikale Struktur des Windsystems und die Variationen von Tag zu Tag qualitativ übereinstimmen. Die mit dem Meteorradar gemessenen Gezeitenamplituden sind jedoch systematisch größer als diejenigen, die mit dem Langewellenverfahren gemessen wurden
