Date: August 7, 2000 Search for Extrasolar Planets Hits Home MANCHESTER, ENGLAND: Today, a team of astronomers will announce the discovery of a Jupiter-mass planet orbiting a star, Epsilon Eridani, 10.5 light-years away, making it the first such planet found this close to our own solar system. Dr. William Cochran, of the University of Texas McDonald Observatory, will present the team’s findings at the symposium on "Planetary Systems in the Universe," as part of the 24th General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union, in Manchester, England. "Detecting a planet orbiting Epsilon Eridani, a star very similar to our own Sun and only 3.22 parsecs from Earth, is like finding a planet in our own backyard relatively speaking," said Cochran. "Not only is this planet nearby, it lies 3.2 AU (478 million kilometers, or 297 million miles) from its central star roughly the distance from the Sun to the asteroid belt in our own solar system." The planet of Epsilon Eridani has between 0.8 and 1.6 times the mass of Jupiter and an orbital period of just under seven years about 60 percent the orbital period of Jupiter but longer than that of most other extrasolar planets discovered recently. In fact, the planet could qualify as the first "Jupiter analogue" were it not for its highly eccentric (elliptical) orbit of 0.6. (The orbits of planets in our solar system are more circular.)

Sampling Techniques and Experimental Designs, during his tim e at Johns Hopkins. In 1957 Harvard University established a Department of Statistics in which Cochran was hired on to add strength and senior leadership. Cochran’s knowledge in the field of statistics did not occur by chance. He studied and worked at the most prestigious universities. He was a colleague of and a student of some very well known statisticians. Cochran was a student of Fisher’s and a colleague of both Yates and Wilks. The statistical knowledge of Cochran was used by the Census Bureau, it was used in the medical field by the Surgeon General, and it was used in agriculture to determine crop yields. "Few, if any, have contribute d more to statistics as consultant, teacher, researcher and author" (Hansen). Bibliography Cochran, William G. Sampling Techniques. John Wiley and Son, Inc. 1997.
