To make the discovery even more unusual, the co-orbiting pair has by far the widest separation ever detected in this type of binary system. http://www.physorg.com/news96130881.html Space & Earth Wed, 18 Apr 2007 16:01:21 EST news96130881 (PhysOrg.com) -- An international team of scientists has found that giant exoplanets orbiting very close to their stars could lose a quarter of their mass during their lifetime. The team found that planets that orbit closer than 2% of an Astronomical Unit (AU), the distance between the Earth and the Sun, may lose their atmospheres completely, leaving just their core. http://www.physorg.com/news159557321.html Space & Earth Tue, 21 Apr 2009 18:29:12 EST news159557321 Scientists have created an instrument designed to help determine the shapes and sizes of tiny ice crystals typical of those found in high-altitude clouds, down to the micron level (comparable to the tiniest cells in the human body), according to a new study in Optics Letters, a journal published by the Optical Society. The data produced using this instrument likely will help improve computer models used to predict climate change. http://www.physorg.com/news135517638.html Space & Earth Thu, 17 Jul 2008 12:47:18 EST news135517638 Astronomers at the University of Hertfordshire have helped to solve one of the longest standing puzzles in astrophysics - the nature of the enormous explosions known as short-duration gamma ray bursts (GRBs). http://www.physorg.com/news9050.html Space & Earth Wed, 14 Dec 2005 15:26:59 EST news9050 An advanced laser-based instrument to help research into climate change is being developed for one of the world`s leading atmospheric research aircraft. http://www.physorg.com/news65200376.html Space & Earth Tue, 25 Apr 2006 16:12:56 EST news65200376 Girls targeted by bullies at primary school are two and a half times more likely to remain victims than boys, according to research from the University of Warwick and University of Hertfordshire. http://www.physorg.com/news150976603.html Other Sciences Mon, 12 Jan 2009 09:56:43 EST news150976603 (PhysOrg.com) -- A team of astronomers from the Instituto Astrofisica Canarias (IAC) have found an interesting shadow cast by a forming star system. Team member Dr Basmah Riaz, an ER fellow for the Marie Curie CONSTELLATION network, will present the results of their work on Thursday 23rd April in a poster at the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science conference at the University of Hertfordshire. http://www.physorg.com/news159719058.html Space & Earth Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:25:26 EST news159719058
