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 0.1
and orbital period of 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 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 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
