Events: Gas workers find new extrasolar planets, the telescope is not surprising (Figure)

Peter the newly discovered four new exoplanets.
Web of Science YORK, Jan. 5 report, the facts prove that not all of the things professional non-professional to do than to be unique. Recently, a British amateur astronomer Peter (Peter Jalowiczor) found the use of free time four new extrasolar planets, astronomers have made many of his admiration.
45-year-old Peter is just a Rotherham South Yorkshire England, the gas workers. He does not telescope, astronomers actually able to provide four evidence of the existence of exoplanets. The new planet was officially named the University of California U.S. HD31253b, HD218566b, HD177830c and HD99492c. His new findings will be published this in the new issue of "Astrophysical communication" on.
Peter said: "I have always maintained astronomical interest, this has passed the two science-related degree, this can become one of the discoverers of the planet, I feel very excited and surprised. "
According to Peter introduced every night he would only use two computers at home, on the University of California, published in 2005, in the past decade, analysis of astronomical data, started from March 2007, Peter has spent hundreds of hours of time to calculate, analyze data and draw charts.
California, astronomers have noted that the original publishing of spatial data, it is hoped amateur astronomy enthusiasts, through the data to realize their dream of astronomical discovery.
Peter by Doppler spectroscopy (doppler spectroscopy) method of extrasolar planet orbital analysis, and then found that this is to use large telescopes to observe the new planet. Peter said: "found a weak interplanetary orbit changes, I will soon upload my research to the U.S. University of California."
According to experts, the planets orbit around the course will have a small shake, shake it revealed that the presence of planets. Special software to take advantage of this principle, can be calculated a few years time, the size of planetary objects in orbit, which allows scientists to draw the planets orbit the operating system, and gradually find new undiscovered planets
Its first discovery of extrasolar planets but not in the resistance of the outside world Press published, but this did not affect its more far-reaching planets discovered. Since 1995, its first extrasolar planet was incorporated into the research directory, as of now astronomers have discovered 515 extrasolar planets, but mostly with the giant planets like Jupiter.
