  1. HD 77258 is a #binaryStar system in the southern #constellation of #Vela. It has the #BayerDesignation w Velorum, while HD 77258 is the identifier from the #HenryDraperCatalogue. The system is visible to the naked eye as a faint point of light with a combined #apparentVisualMagnitude of 4.45. It is located at a distance of approximately 218 #lightYears from the #Sun based on #parallax. The #radialVelocity of the system #barycenter is poorly constrained.

  2. The new #Keck target - an #RRLyrae star at the outskirts of our Galaxy in the #halo; the Virgo Cluster is too low now - has been placed behind the spectrograph slit marked with the cursor (and thus can't be seen by the guide camera now). A 45-minute exposure of a spectrum is now being taken: the goal is its #radialvelocity, for determining the #Galaxy's mass and looking for a reflex motion of the whole Milky Way caused by its Large Magellanic Cloud neighbor.

  6. Constraints for the orbital #inclination and the true mass of long-period single companions.

    This work illustrates how #Gaia and #Hipparcos allow for the orbital properties and masses of long-period RV companions to be further constrained.

    The first constraints for nearby long-period #planets from Gaia have started getting published.

  10. A massive joint #observation campaign is in preparation.

    We are talking about a dozen high-precision #RadialVelocity instruments (blue), mounted on large (2m-10m) #telescopes + a dozen professional 1m-class #photometric telescopes (red) + hundreds of potential #citizen #scientists to observe altogether the same #exoplanet #transit...
