“…At least four systems have spin-orbit tilts in excess of 30 • (XO-3, HD 80606, WASP-14, HAT-P-7; see Introduction). Evidence for misalignment may also have been found for WASP-17 (Anderson et al 2009). According to the data and analysis presented here, CoRoT-1 joins this group, with the RV data favouring an almost polar orbit.…”

We measure the angle between the planetary orbit and the stellar rotation axis in the transiting planetary system CoRoT‐1, with new HIRES/Keck and FORS/VLT high‐accuracy photometry. The data indicate a highly tilted system, with a projected spin‐orbit angle λ= 77°± 11°. Systematic uncertainties in the radial velocity data could cause the actual errors to be larger by an unknown amount, and this result needs to be confirmed with further high‐accuracy spectroscopic transit measurements. Spin‐orbit alignment has now been measured in a dozen extra‐solar planetary systems, and several show strong misalignment. The first three misaligned planets were all much more massive than Jupiter and followed eccentric orbits. CoRoT‐1, however, is a jovian‐mass close‐in planet on a circular orbit. If its strong misalignment is confirmed, it would break this pattern. The high occurrence of misaligned systems for several types of planets and orbits favours planet–planet scattering as a mechanism to bring gas giants on very close orbits.

“…However additional justification for requiring laboratory notebooks is supported by a recent survey of experimental practices in industry which revealed that the practice of maintaining a detailed laboratory notebook seems to be in sharp decline in industry and government labs, with some detrimental consequences. 30,31 From an educational perspective, a laboratory notebook serves two very important purposes. First it provides students with a complete history of a research project from start to finish, including all of the dead ends and wrong turns along the way, as well as the breakthroughs and bursts of insight.…”

This paper describes an advanced laboratory course in acoustics, specifically targeted for students with an interest in engineering applications at a school with a strongly integrated industrial co-op program. The laboratory course is developed around a three-pronged approach to problem solving that combines and integrates theoretical models, computational models, and experimental data. The course is structured around modules that begin with fundamental concepts and build laboratory skills and expand the knowledge base toward a final project. Students keep a detailed laboratory notebook, write research papers in teams, and must pass laboratory certification exams. This paper describes the course layout and philosophy and shares personal experience from both faculty and student perspectives.

“…Many corporate research laboratories have experienced tension or transition between these axes, for example researchers at General Electric gradually departing the forefront of theoretical physics for a concern with markets [1]. To some extent, the dichotomy and its connotations of epistemic authority correspond to the commonplace distinction between ''hard'' and ''soft'' science, although we argue that there are more substantial implications of doctrine and power than generally acknowledged in those phrases, and also that social sciences can, on occasion, play a High Church role that might otherwise be associated only with hard science.…”

“…1 HCI is also a design discipline, responsible for the creation of new technological products-the vision of ubicomp is above all else a technological vision. These two disciplinary commitments of HCI result in constant tension, because the methods of the human and social sciences are ultimately oriented towards the creation of theories rather than artefacts, while the corporate contexts in which technological products are imagined and created are oriented towards ensuring the delivery of novel products.…”

Undisciplined disciples: everything you always wanted to know about ethnomethodology but were afraid to ask Yoda

As computing technologies become ubiquitous in social life, social science increasingly becomes the study of those technosystems. Similarly, as technology corporations compete to design new ubicomp products, social science research is recruited as a design method. This paper presents an interpretive bricolage, exploring the relationship between social science and corporate technology research. It draws on a specific case study: the history of ethnomethodology during the lifetime of the Xerox Euro-PARC laboratory. This interpretation relates to the ways that social and organisational authority is maintained through scientific knowledge, and the ways in which interdisciplinary design research engages with product users, customers and markets.

Abstract: An American Institute of Physics study completed in 2008 documents the ways in which the corporate physicist’s work has changed in the past 40 years. Here are its major findings.
