Re: [FT] Jovian formation

>So, are there any professional or amature astronomers out there?

Yeah, but just been too damned busy to spare any time to look some
stuff up for laserlight. :-(  I'd consult with a colleague of mine
at work who is very much into searching for planets/brown dwarfs
around nearby stars, but he's out on sick leave, having suffered
a heart attack a week ago. When he's better I'll bug him.

Anyway, the website I maintain on unseen companions around 'nearby'
stars ('nearby' being relative ;-)  is sorely sorely sorely out of
date and in need of upgrading, so I won't point you in that direction
right now. If/when I get a chance to update it, I'll let ya know.
