That Star A was not simply a single star was discovered in 1783 by Sir William Friedrich Wilhelm Herschel (1738-1822, portrait), who was born Friedrich Wilhelm Herschel and who subsequently discovered the planet Uranus in 1781 -- which led to his appointment in 1782 as private astronomer to the King of England.
Star A's companion itself was discovered to be a binary pair BC in 1851 by Otto Wilhelm von Struve (1819-1905), who succeeded his father (Friedrich Georg Wilhelm) as director of Russia's Pulkova Observatory, made the first accurate determination of the constant of precession, and discovered some 500 binary stars.
Any planets around Stars B (or C) would have been "fried" through heat and hard radiation long ago when star B was a giant star and puffed out its outer layers to reveal its remnant stellar core as a white dwarf.

Ross posed this question in response to the state’s defense of procedural default of this claim: “Must one presume, that when Dr. Wetli tells me this is all he got, in the presence of two well-respected prosecutors.
Ross has merely, in a pro bono capacity, without any funds for investigators or other costs, undertaken to assist her as-needed, for example, by attempting to ameliorate the conditions of her confinement, or by filing a motion for relief on the basis of exculpatory evidence brought to his attention by someone else.
Cohen said she had turned off the alarm system’s motion detector so that the dog would not activate it, but that she also claimed to have locked up the dog, so as to avoid activating the alarm system, a seemingly suspicious inconsistency.

 How Stars are Named
Double stars are given a number and the name of the discoverer, or are referred to by their number in the Aitken Double Star catalog (ADS) or the Burnham Double Star catalog (BDS) or the Washington Double Star catalog; individual components of each system are given capital letters: A, B, etc.
It goes as faint as about 13th magnitude (but is incomplete for stars that the faint), and does not include the brightest stars (which were overexposed on the photographs which were measured), and stars which overlapped on the photographs.

 SOLAR SYSTEMS ABOUT NEARBY STARS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Masses of the planets orbiting these stars depend on both the spin of the parent star, abundance of hydrogen in the condensing nebulae, and distance the planet is from the parent star.
The latter two of these planets are not expected to be found in the star systems under investigation as they were formed too close to the parent star and were either absorbed by it or shattered as the star grew to its current size.
True single star systems are usually without planets unless these are residual "planets that became (small M class)stars" cast from the region of orbital instability during the forming of binary star's solar systems.

 The milky way
The latest group of five young stars, found by Jessica Lu of the University of California in Los Angeles and her colleagues using the Keck I telescope in Hawaii, is moving in convoy even closer to the galactic centre - just 0.26 light years away.
The star is a metal-rich star, laden with heavy elements, which are prevalent toward the centre of the galaxy.
The star at the centre of this system is a pulsar named PSR B1257+12 -- the extremely dense and compact neutron star left over from a massive star that died in a violent explosion 1,500 light years away in the constellation Virgo.

 Luyten's Star
The high proper motion of this dim star was probably discovered by Willem Jacob Luyten (1899-1994), who found the proper motions of over 520,000 stars despite the loss of sight in one eye since 1925 by building an automated photographic plate scanner and measuring machine.
It has been selected as a "Tier 1" target star for NASA's optical Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) to detect a planet as small as three Earth-masses within two AUs of its host star (and so some summary system information and images of Luyten's Star are available from the SIM Teams).
Assuming an upper limit for mass of Luyten's Star at two tenths of a Solar mass and the semi-major axis of orbit around the star, three upper limit possibilities were derived: 1.1 Jupiter-mass with an orbital period of 10 years; 0.7 Jupiter-mass with a 20-year period; or a 0.4 Jupiter-mass with a 40-year period orbit.

The bright star table was selected on the basis of apparent brightness NOT the luminosity of the stars.
The near star table is all stars within 5 parsecs (about 15-16 lightyears) from the sun.
For each list of stars, the nearest stars and the brightest stars, count the number of stars that fall into each of these temperature ranges: 3000 or less; 3001 to 5000; 5001 to 7000, 7001 to 10,000; greater than 10,000.

 Van der Kamp, Peter (1901-1955)
In 1937, using a technique brought to Sproul by Kaj A. Strand, he initiated a search for unseen companions of 54 stars known to lie within 16 light-years (5 parsecs) of the Sun (see stars, nearest).
Three years earlier, he suggested that the nearby Sun-like star, Epsilon Eridani, had a planetary companion 6 times as massive as Jupiter.
Recent confirmation of the existence of giant planets and brown dwarfs beyond the Solar System have vindicated that view.

In cases where the star was not measured directly but is part of a system whose primary was, no range is supplied.
In cases where the star is part of a system where only the primary was observed, the source catalog name is in parentheses.
If the difference in the star's position as seen from the Sun as compared to the Earth is 1 arc second (1/3600 degree), its distance is, by definition, 1 parsec.

 [6.12] A Study of the Low Mass Binary Star Ross 614   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
We have combined photograph, MAP, interferometric, and spectroscopic data to determine the orbital characteristics and masses of the Ross 614 binary star system.
Attention was first drawn to the star by Frank E. Ross (1927, AJ 37, 193) who noticed its high proper motion in a comparison of new plates with those taken at the Yerkes Observatory by E.E. Barnard.
With a wealth of new data spanning more than 3 additional orbits, we find her value of 0.08 solar masses to be within our error of our value.

 The Incredible Design of the Earth and Our Solar System
The unique arrangement of large and small planetary bodies in the solar system may be required to ensure the 4+ billion year stability of the system.
In fact, nearly all large planets have been found to be closer to their stars than the earth is to the Sun (which would remove all rocky planets in the habitable zone from those systems).
There have been many large planets found around other stars recently, but none of these planets are far enough away from their star (most orbit at a position comparable to Mercury) to stabilize the orbits of planets in the zone that can support life or protect these inner planets from cometary bombardment.

Rusch's entry into the Star Wars saga moves quicky, jumping from action to intrigue and back to action, always leaving a question as to what will happen next hanging in the air - cliffhanger serial storytelling at its finest.
Also, many of the expanded universe books fail to illustrate good Star Wars heroes, but in the New Rebellion even the major familiar heroes held the qualities that were given to them in the films.
Anyway overall, this was a solid Star Wars book and among the top books of the series.
