Brown and T.-A. Suer, California Institute of Technology, report the discoveries of four satellites of large transneptunian objects from observations with the Hubble Space Telescope High Resolution Camera (+ F606W filter). Observations of (55637) 2002 UX_25 on 2005 Aug. 26.64 UT detected a satellite that was 2.5 +/- 0.2 mag fainter than the primary at a separation of 0".164 +/- 0".003 in p.a. 153 +/- 2 degrees. Observations of (90482) Orcus on 2005 Nov. 13.13 detected a satellite that was 2.7 +/- 1 magnitude fainter than the primary at a separation of 0".25 +/- 0".01 in p.a. 128 +/- 1 deg. Observations of 2003 AZ_84 on 2005 Dec. 2.99 detected a satellite that was 5.0 +/- 0.3 mag fainter than the primary at a separation of 0".22 +/- 0".01 in p.a. 321 +/- 2 deg. Observations of (50000) Quaoar on 2006 Feb. 14.90 detected a satellite that was 5.6 +/- 0.2 mag fainter than the primary at a separation of 0".35 +/- 0".01 in p.a. 110 +/- 1 deg. V1281 SCORPII H. Naito and S. Narusawa, Nishi-Harima Astronomical Observatory; and H. Yamaoka, Kyushu University, report that a low-resolution spectrogram (range 410-670 nm; resolution 1600 at H_alpha) of the possible nova reported on IAUC 8810 was obtained on Feb. 21.84 UT with the 2.0-m NAYUTA telescope (+ MALLS). The spectrum shows a broad H_alpha line with a P-Cyg profile (the FWHM of the emission component is about 1800 km/s), along with many other weaker lines, indicating that the star is indeed a classical nova. A narrow Na I D absorption feature suggests the existence of considerable interstellar reddening. Yamaoka adds that Y. Fujita (Kuma-Kogen, Ehime, Japan) made a prediscovery CCD image of the area of the nova with a Nikon D50 camera (+ 105-mm f/2 camera lens) on Feb. 18.850, and the nova was not visible to limiting mag 11.6. N. N. Samus, Institute of Astronomy, Russian Academy of Sciences, reports that this nova has been given the designation V1281 Sco. V1280 SCORPII C. Buil, Castanet, France, reports that an optical spectrogram of V1280 Sco obtained on Feb. 20.20 UT using a 0.28-m Schmidt- Cassegrain telescope (+ Lhires spectrograph) shows an H_alpha P-Cyg profile and a FWHM of 730 km/s; the intensity of the H_alpha peak intensity is 2.3 times the local 670-nm continuum. CCD magnitudes by J. D. West, Mulvane, KS: Feb. 21.467 UT, H = 2.87 +/- 0.06; 21.483, V = 4.73 +/- 0.01. 2007 February 22 (8812) Daniel W. E. Green 2547: 3176: 3400:.

They don't want to give any reason for challenging. It's the same old run around of asking for sources for everything including where the sun rises and challenging the sourcing until one gives up. Global Cooling is interesting because it's not structured as entirely a science article but rather a combination science and popular press article. They're denying that the popular press has any articles on it.

Io plasma torus, and Io's effects on Jupiter's magnetosphere in general. Being a geologist and NOT as plasma physicist makes this a difficult section for me to write. Once that section gets cleaned up, and maybe the atmosphere section as well, I would like to send this to a peer review first, as well as get some input from some of my fellow Io researchers. --

Sorry, I should get to you much earlier on that - just chain of events was such that someone else promoted those hooks and I was then hectically fixing them ;-) The original grayscale image of Thor is fine scientifically, but not appealing for non-specialists. 2003:

I am not sure why this failed at FAC. The point that some of the writing was kind of stilted an awkward is valid, but I thought we were making good progress fixing the prose. I suspect the fact that work on the article kind of halted for easter weekend may have been what did it in. I will keep trying

I noticed it was languishing in the list of former featured articles and popped over to buck it up a bit, but you seem to have rescued it already. I've given it a bit of a copy-edit and knocked out some redundancy, but it seems in good shape. Are you planning on expanding it further (I don't see that

I got confused as to which name applied to S/ 2002 N 1. So I first moved that article to Halimede, then to Laomedeia. When I got an email from the IAU naming group about which names applied to which moons, I moved it back to Halimede. However, because of that incorrect move, Laomedeia redirects to

Hi, I noticed you cropped the Enceladus image even further (which is fine, though I prefer at least some blackness around it), but what strikes me is the image appears much sharper. Did you sharpen it, because I already applied a smart sharpen in Photoshop CS2? This just looks too excessive even for

(and if I haven't made it clear, I think it's an impressive piece of work - halfway through copy-editing I suddenly thought "I bet it is up at FAC already" and was surprised when I didn't see the banner on the talk page).

Perhaps the "Interaction with Magnetosphere" could stand a tiny expansion but I'd be wary of writing what should be a separate article in there. I'm not sure the Atmosphere section needs anything adding. How do you feel about the cite templates for references? There are a few inconsistencies in the

There are a few things that can be added. The most important section that needs fixing is the "Interaction with Magnetosphere" section. Right now, it is just copied from the old article that seemed to refer to that interaction, but more needs to be added on the Io Flux Tube, the Sodium cloud, the

Good job on the Enceladus-related articles from me, too. I've been doing a lot of cleanup and reorganization related to planetary surface features lately and I was surprised to find that wee little Enceladus was the most thoroughly written-about of Saturn's moons, at least as far as articles about

WRT the cite templates, I don't think they are perfect, and prefer to use my own style, based loosely on the Science magazine format, with article titles included to act as an anchor for links. So one of the things that also needs to get fixed is to use a common citation format. However, I

I noticed the new names on the Neptune's natural satellites page, so I went to add them onto the Timeline of Natural Satellites... after I did so, I noticed the link to Laomedeia redirected to Halimede, by your edit. I'm quite confused by this point. What's going on?

202:

Hi, similar question to above. It'd be great to include some kind of reference for the improved diameter estimate. If it's not put in, it becomes a bane a year or two down the track because it can become hard to track down where it came from, and doubts appear :-)

241:

Just wanted to commend you on the great job you've done on not only the Enceladus article itself, but the pages for its surface features! I think they are an example that the rest of the surface feature pages should be worked on to match. Keep up the great work!

767:

Well, I don't think we need to go as long as a separate article, though that makes me wary of expanding some of the other section for fear we would be entering that territory. I certainly feel though that "Volcanism on Io" should have an article all its own.

1865:

I'm fine with "Io pictured" or what you have "Io with Thor pictured", though I think without a detailed explanation, one too long for a hook, it maybe difficult to tell where Thor is in that image. Regardless, this image I think is more applicable to Thor.
