Around M-dwarf stars ( the most common stars in our Galaxy), this model favours the formation of Earth-mass (M+) to Neptune-mass planets with orbital radii of 1 to 10 astronomical units (AU), which is consistent with the small number of gas giant planets known to orbit M-dwarf host stars(1-4). More than 170 extrasolar planets have been discovered with a wide range of masses and orbital periods, but planets of Neptune's mass or less have not hitherto been detected at separations of more than 0.15 AU from normal stars. Here we report the discovery of a 5.5(-2.7)(+5.5)M(+) planetary companion at a separation of 2.6(- 0.6)(+1.5) AU from a 0.22(-0.11)(+0.21)M(.) M-dwarf star, where M-. refers to a solar mass. (We propose to name it OGLE- 2005-BLG-390Lb, indicating a planetary mass companion to the lens star of the microlensing event.) The mass is lower than that of GJ876d (ref. 5), although the error bars overlap. Our detection suggests that such cool, sub-Neptune-mass planets may be more common than gas giant planets, as predicted by the core accretion theory.}, language = {en} } @misc{ZimmermannStompsSchulteOsseilietal.2020, author = {Zimmermann, Marc and Stomps, Benjamin Ren{\´e} Harald and Schulte-Osseili, Christine and Grigoriev, Dmitry and Ewen, Dirk and Morgan, Andrew and B{\"o}ker, Alexander}, title = {Organic dye anchor peptide conjugates as an advanced coloring agent for polypropylene yarn}, series = {Zweitver{\"o}ffentlichungen der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Zweitver{\"o}ffentlichungen der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {1-2}, issn = {1866-8372}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-54891}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-548913}, pages = {14}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Polypropylene as one of the world's top commodity polymers is also widely used in the textile industry.
