Title: MOST news?
Post by: remcook on June 08, 2004, 01:09:45 PM
I wondered how it was going with Canada's mission MOST.

On their web site it says

May 2004     MOST continues to function beautifully. We are preparing to make the first public
announcement of MOST scientific results within a few weeks. Please stay tuned
to this site for news in the near future.

Maybe some Canadians here know some more from the local media. Has it detected any exoplanets yet (although that was not its main objective), new ones or confirm known ones?

MOST, Canada's first space telescope, has turned up an important clue about the atmosphere and cloud cover of a mysterious planet around another star, by playing a cosmic game of 'hide and seek' as that planet moves behind its parent star in its orbit.

Canadian astronomers using the MOST space telescope have observed a remarkable planetary system where a giant close-in planet is forcing its parent star to rotate in lock-step with the planet's orbit.
