	The MONS Project on the Rømer satellite
		MONS is the scientific project on the Danish Rømer satellite, which is currently under development as an element of the Danish Small Satellite Programme.
		These stars will be chosen in such a way as to be representative for an appropriate selection of masses and ages ; one possible candidate is a star which closely corresponds to the future state of the Sun, in about 3 billion years.
		The MONS project illustrates many aspects of the evolution of stars and their properties, and we shall strive to use this to the full, by giving running accounts of the project and the research that is planned.

	The Nine Planets Glossary
		The degree of brightness of a celestial body designated on a numerical scale, on which the brightest star has magnitude -1.4 and the faintest visible star has magnitude 6, with the scale rule such that a decrease of one unit represents an increase in apparent brightness by a factor of 2.512.
		Sidereal rotation is that measured with respect to the stars rather than with respect to the Sun or the primary of a satellite.
		Stars given a designation consisting of a letter and a number according to the nature of their spectral lines which corresponds roughly to surface temperature.

	The Legends and Traditions of the Great War: The Case of the Elusive Angel of Mons
		Mons lies in the center of an industrial mining area, and in fact, was the center of coal mining in Belgium.
		The irreducible details about the incident of the Angel of Mons seem to be that a small force of regular soldiers representing a nation with an oral tradition of combat success due to divine participation had a narrow escape against a vastly more numerous opponent at Mons in August, 1914.
		With an explanation of the narrow escape for the Tommies at Mons and a message of divine protection against future defeat, it was exceedingly useful for maintaining the physic stability of Britain's soldiers, citizens and leadership.

	MONS: The B-Star Group
		These pages serve to define the structure of the group of astronomers that are involved in the variability of B-stars to be observed with the MONS satellite.
		We expect that many of the kappa-driven oscillation modes in B-stars will have amplitudes sufficiently large to be observed by means of the MONS star trackers.
		Anybody who is interested in working with MONS data of B-stars is welcome to join the B-star group as we move along.

	Planet Transits with MONS
		Actually, the photometric accuracy of MONS is not very high at the magnitude of HD209458 (V~8), BUT, the orbital period of the transiting planet is so short that MONS would have been able to observe almost ten transits during one month.
		The visual magnitude of the target star is represented in the abscissa axis, and the ratio of the radius of the planet (in Jupiter radii) to the radius of the star (in solar radii) is shown in the ordinate axis.
		Orange diamonds locate all the stars that are known to have planets from radial velocity measurements (66 as of April 2001) within the plot ranges.

	Eclipsing Binaries with MONS
		The MONS project is equipped with three different cameras that will acquire accurate photometry of around 6000 stars through a period of two years.
		The two star trackers, with 22-degree field of views and pointing 180 degrees apart, will be very useful instruments for obtaining light curves of known eclipsing binaries and discovering new ones.
		The main asset of MONS with respect to eclipsing binaries is its capability of obtaining stable, long time series photometry of moderately bright stars with millimagnitude-level accuracy.
