Astrophysical research has led to the detection of thousands of planets outside the Solar System. About one-tenth of the extrasolar planets discovered so far reside in binary- or multi-stellar systems, and some of the closest known rocky exoplanets populate these multiple-star systems. While such environments seem good places to look for a second Earth, can Earth-like planets with two or more suns be habitable? And do solar system-like configurations have to be detected to find a habitable exo-Earth?This book addresses these questions. Starting with a brief overview of the various types of double star-planet configurations that have been observed so far, the book discusses the intriguing variety of planetary motion in such environments, taking into account the stellar type, evolution, and activity, and elaborates on how the presence of an additional stellar companion affects planet formation, system architectures and the habitability of planets in binary star systems. New methodologies developed in this area of research are explained and demonstrated for systems such as Alpha-Centauri, HD41004, Kepler-35, and many others. This monograph provides a grand entry to the exciting results that we expect from new missions like TESS, CHEOPS and Plato.

The following zones of stars were observed with the Transit Instrument in the years, 1846, 1847, 1848, and 1849, and form the complement of the zones observed with the Mural Circle in the same years; it having been the intention that the Transit Instrument should furnish for the reductions the standar right ascensions and the Mural Circle the standard declinations.

The zones of stars contained in the following pages were observed with the Meridian Circle in the years 1847, 1848, 1849, and form a continuation of those reduced and published by Mr. James Ferguson, assistant astronomer, in the year 1860. The zones reduced by Mr. Ferguson are those which were observed with this instrument in the year 1846. In his introduction Mr. Ferguson has given a description of the Meridian Circle, and a detailed account of the methods of making and reducing the observations. The description of the instrument will be found also in the annual volume for 1846, page XXXVII. The object-glass of the telescope was 4.5 inches in aperture, and 58.2 inches in focal length. The diaphragm contained eleven transit wires, and sever micrometer-wires for declination. The transit wires were designated 1, 2, I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, 10, 11; and the micrometer wires 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The first of the transit-wires was that first passed by a star, circle east ; and the first of the micrometer-wires was that uppermost in the field, circle east, and the observer looking southward.

This book introduces the reader to all the basic physical building blocks of climate needed to understand the present and past climate of Earth, the climates of Solar System planets, and the climates of extrasolar planets. These building blocks include thermodynamics, infrared radiative transfer, scattering, surface heat transfer and various processes governing the evolution of atmospheric composition. Nearly four hundred problems are supplied to help consolidate the reader's understanding, and to lead the reader towards original research on planetary climate. This textbook is invaluable for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students in atmospheric science, Earth and planetary science, astrobiology, and physics. It also provides a superb reference text for researchers in these subjects, and is very suitable for academic researchers trained in physics or chemistry who wish to rapidly gain enough background to participate in the excitement of the new research opportunities opening in planetary climate.
