Hunt For Substellar Objects
The McDonald Observatory team has set limits to the presence of one or more planets around 36 Ophiuchi A with masses between 0.13 and 5.4 Jupiter masses and average separations spanning between 0.05 and 5.2 astronomical units, although the outermost stable orbits around either 36 Ophiuchi A or 36 Ophiuchi B are possible not beyond 1.5 AU.

Famous quotes containing the words hunt and/or objects:
“O suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October’s bright blue weather.”
—Helen Hunt Jackson (1830–1885)
“It is a misfortune that necessity has induced men to accord greater license to this formidable engine, in order to obtain liberty, than can be borne with less important objects in view; for the press, like fire, is an excellent servant, but a terrible master.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
