AbstractWe have measured transit times for HD 189733 passing in front of its bright (V = 7.67) chromospherically active and spotted parent star. Nearly continuous broadband photometry of this system was obtained with the MOST (Microvariability & Oscillations of STars) space telesope during 21 days in August 2006, monitoring 10 consecutive transits. We have used these data to search for deviations from a constant orbital period which can indicate the presence of additional planets in the system that are as yet undetected by Doppler searches. We find no variations above the level of ±45 s, ruling out planets in the Earth-to-Neptune mass range in a number of resonant orbits. We find that a number of complications can arise in measuring transit times for a planet transiting an active star with large star spots. However, such transiting systems are also useful in that they can help to constrain and test spot models. This has implications for the large number of transiting systems expected to be discovered by the CoRoT and Kepler missions.

ABSTRACT The paper analyses possible transfers of bodies from the main asteroid belt (MBA) to the Centaur region. The orbits of asteroids in the 2:1 mean motion resonance (MMR) with Jupiter are analysed. We selected the asteroids that are in resonant orbits with e > 0.3 whose absolute magnitudes H do not exceed 16 m. The total number of the orbits amounts to 152. Numerical calculations were performed to evaluate the evolution of the orbits over 100,000-year time interval with projects for the future. Six bodies are found to have moved from the 2:1 commensurability zone to the Centaur population. The transfer time of these bodies to the Centaur zone ranges from 4,600 to 70,000 yr. Such transfers occur after orbits leave the resonance and the bodies approach Jupiter Where after reaching sufficient orbital eccentricities bodies approach a terrestrial planet, their orbits go out of the MMR. Accuracy estimations are carried out to confirm the possible asteroid transfers to the Centaur region.

JPEG is the most commonly utilized image coding standard for storage and transmission purposes. It achieves a good rate–distortion trade-off, and it has been adopted by many, if not all, handheld devices. However, often information loss occurs due to transmission error or damage to the storage device. To address this problem, various coefficient recovery methods have been proposed in the past, including a divide-and-conquer approach to speed up the recovery process. However, the segmentation technique considered in the existing method operates with the assumption of a bi-modal distribution for the pixel values, but most images do not satisfy this condition. Therefore, in this work, an adaptive method was employed to perform more accurate segmentation, so that the real potential of the previous coefficient recovery methods can be unleashed. In addition, an improved rewritable adaptive data embedding method is also proposed that exploits the recoverability of coefficients. Discrete cosine transformation (DCT) patches and blocks for data hiding are judiciously selected based on the predetermined precision to control the embedding capacity and image distortion. Our results suggest that the adaptive coefficient recovery method is able to improve on the conventional method up to 27% in terms of CPU time, and it also achieved better image quality with most considered images. Furthermore, the proposed rewritable data embedding method is able to embed 20,146 bits into an image of dimensions 512×512.

ABSTRACT Action space synthesizes the orbital information of stars and is well suited to analyse the rich kinematic substructure of the disc in the second Gaia data release's radial velocity sample. We revisit the strong perturbation induced in the Milky Way disc by an m = 2 bar, using test particle simulations and the actions (JR, Lz, Jz) estimated in an axisymmetric potential. These make three useful diagnostics cleanly visible. (1) We use the well-known characteristic flip from outward to inward motion at the outer Lindblad resonance (OLR; l = +1, m = 2), which occurs along the axisymmetric resonance line (ARL) in (Lz, JR), to identify in the Gaia action data three candidates for the bar’s OLR and pattern speed Ωbar: 1.85Ω0, 1.20Ω0, and 1.63Ω0 (with ∼0.1Ω0 systematic uncertainty). The Gaia data is therefore consistent with both slow and fast bar models in the literature, but disagrees with recent measurements of ∼1.45Ω0. (2) For the first time, we demonstrate that bar resonances – especially the OLR – cause a gradient in vertical action 〈Jz〉 with Lz around the ARL via ‘Jz-sorting’ of stars. This could contribute to the observed coupling of 〈vR〉 and 〈|vz|〉 in the Galactic disc. (3) We confirm prior results that the behaviour of resonant orbits is well approximated by scattering and oscillation in (Lz, JR) along a slope ΔJR/ΔLz = l/m centred on the l:m ARL. Overall, we demonstrate that axisymmetrically estimated actions are a powerful diagnostic tool even in non-axisymmetric systems.

AbstractA linearised treatment is presented of vertical bifurcations of symmetric periodic orbits(bifurcations of plane with three-dimensional orbits) in the circular restricted problem. Recent work on bifurcations from vertical-critical orbits (av = ±1) is extended to deal with the v more general situation of bifurcations from vertical self-resonant orbits (av = cos(2Πn/m) for integer m,n) and it is shown that in this more general case bifurcating families of three-dimensional orbits always occur in pairs, the orbital symmetry properties being governed by the evenness or oddness of the integer m. The applicability of the theory to the elliptic restricted problem is discussed.

AbstractWe discuss the effects of close scattering and merging between planets on distributions of mass, semimajor axis and orbital eccentricity, using population synthesis model of planet formation, focusing on the distributions of close-in super-Earths, which are being observed recently. We found that a group of compact embryos emerge interior to the ice line, grow, migrate, and congregate into closely-packed convoys which stall in the proximity of their host stars. After the disk-gas depletion, they undergo orbit crossing, close scattering, and giant impacts to form multiple rocky Earths or super-Earths in non-resonant orbits around ~ 0.1AU with moderate eccentricities of ~ 0.01–0.1. The formation of these planets does not depend on model parameters such as type I migration speed. The fraction of solar-type stars with these super-Earths is anti-correlated with the fraction of stars with gas giants. The newly predicted family of close-in super-Earths makes less clear “planet desert” at intermediate mass range than our previous prediction.
