The study of hot Jupiter planet atmospheres is giving rise to a surprising and intriguing diversity. Large differences in night/day contrast, chemical abundances, and physical properties are just a few examples of the variety found. A further recent addition to this complex picture is the discovery of a very strong emission feature (a factor of 4

We observed the black hole candidate XTE J1752-223 (ATel #2258) with the William Herschel Telescope (WHT) and the ACAM imager/spectrograph at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma, Spain. Two R-band exposures of 60 and 200 s and one I-band exposure of 200 s were taken under photometric conditions and 1.0-1.2-arcsec seeing on Aug 8

In this paper, we consider the reported measurements of black hole spin for black hole X-ray binaries and compare them against the measurements of jet power and speed across all accretion states in these systems. We find no evidence for any correlation between the properties of the jets and the reported spin measurements. These constraints are

The image mosaics obtained with the instrument LIRIS (Long-Slit Intermediate Resolution Infrared Spectrograph) at the Williams Herschel Telescope are in the images directory in the Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) standard. (2 data files).
