Anyone remember this :

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/up-telescope-search-begins-for-giant-new-planet-2213119.html

Well that data should be nearing the end of it's analysis

I've contacted both of the guys at UoL mentioned in the article to ask them how it's going.

I'll post any reply here.

e2a :

This from JPL (WISE is the space telescope used to get the IR data) :

"For a collection of WISE images released to date, visit: http://wise.ssl.berkeley.edu/gallery_images.html

An introduction and quick guide to accessing the WISE all-sky archive for astronomers is online at: http://wise2.ipac.caltech.edu/docs/release/allsky/

Instructions for technically minded individuals wanting to try their hand at using the archive are at: http://wise.ssl.berkeley.edu/wise_image_service.html

Got a reply this morning :

"We are in the process of analyzing the data released by WISE, and waiting for them to further analyze additional data.

John"

It's a brief response so he's obviously very busy ...

"Waiting for them to further analyze additional data", so NASA have additional data that they are holding onto until they have analayzed it, by the sounds of it.

We'll just have to wait and see ...


Cheers,

DC.
