Nice textures again =). Yeah I've got to get around to putting Gliese 676 into Celestia. Close to Mu Arae eh? That's neat.

51) Gliese 676 A and jovian kin "Eumon": I imagine Nuclearvacuum blushing.

Putting coordinates into stc file for Celestia, you get the binary system being 3.62 light years away from another well-known exoplanet host, Mu Arae. Curious, ain't it?

Btw faint stellar components appear separated 758 AUs away each other. The red dot at planet's left is indeed GJ 676 B, a dim M3 dwarf.

52) Gliese 832 b: Another (cold) jovian around M dwarf.

53) NN Serpentis: WD+dM eclipsing binary...

... and their (putative) substellar/planetary companion

From parameters I've got in a previous paper about this system, I get a total luminosity of 0.044 L_Solar. So water zone should be located nearly at 0.2 AUs.

See you next update

Why am I blushing?

Aren't you proud to see your exoplanetary names?

My name? Those aren't my names, those are W. Lyra's names. In fact, the only planet name that he selected from my list that were were in sync with was Cronus for Iota Horologii b.

*facepalm*

Doh!

If so Lyra has stolen me Nemea for GJ 436 (which now I call Phlegyas) Laughing

A little thread bump for two systems in Leo constellation:

54) Gamma1 Leonis and planet: K-giant in binary system with hot jupiter.

Notice the secondary star at periastron getting as close as 10.7 AUs from star A.

55) R Leonis: Mira variable star

...with evaporating planet

Thank you for kind support Wink

Wow, that's beautiful ! It will make you laugh but I think that the planet is taking a bath. But it also make me think that the cloud forms a wall in front of the planet (or a shock wave), such as the case of Mira.
Can you make a pic of the planet as a observer would see above its terminator ?

Edasich · by Edasich on Sat Nov 07, 2009 5:33 pm

I could try. Give me some time to edit ssc file and models

Sedna · by Sedna on Sat Nov 07, 2009 5:39 pm

Don't worry about that, I will wait.

I don't know if this is what Sedna requested. Enjoy it anyway
The host star really appears like a monster, even if the planet lies in "quasi-epistellar" orbit

I was taking looking at thread visits. Gosh! More than 1,700!
Thank you all, pals! Very Happy

Screenshots like that emphasize the need for Celestia to render light sources as something other than point-like. Much more of that planet should be illuminated than is shown in Celestia.

Wouldn't a hypothetical R Leo b just kinda fall into the star anyway?

Sorry, Sirius, but here I come always and only for thread bumps, you envious dude *lol* Hehehehe

Howww, it's better than I expected. We clearly see the wall of gas. Great work Edasich !
