• cur | prev 2024 ESPRESSO (talk | contribs) . . (1,625 bytes) (+270) . . (→ a planet at three point one five days and a third of an earth's mass. the 233-day candidate is not supported. the star does have planets)
• cur | prev 2018 a velocity survey (talk | contribs) . . (1,355 bytes) (+120) . . (→ candidate at two hundred and thirty-three days. this one is going to be withdrawn as well, though not for some years)
• cur | prev 6 October 1995 51 Pegasi b (talk | contribs) . . (1,235 bytes) (+310) . . (→ first planet confirmed at a sun-like star, one hundred and forty-one days after the entry above. the discovery he wanted, at a star he was not watching)
• cur | prev 18 May 1995 an obituarist (talk | contribs) . . (925 bytes) (+95) m . . (→ died at Amsterdam, ninety-three years old. the page stood at his version)
• cur | prev 1982 P. van de Kamp (talk | contribs) . . (830 bytes) (+150) . . (→ refined the orbits. rv)
• cur | prev 1976 W. Heintz (talk | contribs) . . (680 bytes) (−160) . . (→ I have his chair and his plates and am obliged to say the planets are in neither. this is not the succession I would have chosen)
• cur | prev 1973 the Sproul field stars (talk | contribs) . . (840 bytes) (−280) . . (→ we moved as well. all of us, on the same nights, by the same amount, and we are not orbiting anything. look at what was done to the lens on those dates)
• cur | prev 1973 the Allegheny plates (talk | contribs) . . (1,120 bytes) (−130) . . (→ two hundred and forty-one exposures, two other observatories, two other telescopes, no wobble. this is a null result and will be treated as one, which is to say lightly)
• cur | prev 1969 P. van de Kamp (talk | contribs) . . (1,250 bytes) (+180) . . (→ two companions rather than one. the residuals prefer it and I have no better reason than that)
• cur | prev 1963 P. van de Kamp (talk | contribs) . . (1,070 bytes) (+430) . . (→ a companion of about 1.6 Jupiters at 4.4 astronomical units, out of twenty-six years of plates. the first planet outside the solar system. I would rather it had taken longer and been surer)
• cur | prev 1937 P. van de Kamp (talk | contribs) . . (640 bytes) (+640) . . (created page; took the directorship and the 24-inch with it. a wobble of a few thousandths of a second of arc cannot be caught in a season. I intend to be here a while)
