McLaughlin (surname)
M(a)cLaughlin is the most common Anglicized form of '' Mac Lochlainn'', a masculine surname of Irish origin. The feminine form of the surname is ''Nic Lochlainn''. The literal meaning of the name is "son of '' Lochlann''". Note that ''Mc'' is simply a contraction of ''Mac'', which is also (albeit rarely) truncated to ''M' ''. Thus, ''MacLaughlin'', ''McLaughlin'' and ''M'Laughlin'' are the same Anglicism, the latter two merely contractions of the first. The original surname Mac/Nic Lochlainn was borne by a family of Cenél nEógain, a branch of the historic northern O'Neill dynasty, reputedly founded by Niall Noígíallach. This family expanded across the North Channel into Scotland, where it became the Clan MacLachlan. M(a)cLaughlin is sometimes used as a modern form of ''O'Melaghlin''/''Melaghlin'', which is more commonly modernised ''McLoughlin'', ''M'Loughlin'', and ''O'Loughlin'' (among other spellings). O'Melaghlin was a phonetic rendering into Anglo-Norman and Middle ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rossiter–McLaughlin Effect
The Rossiter–McLaughlin effect is a spectroscopic phenomenon observed when an object moves across the face of a star. Description The Rossiter–McLaughlin effect is a spectroscopic phenomenon observed when either an eclipsing binary's secondary star or an extrasolar planet is seen to transit across the face of the primary or parent star. As the main star rotates on its axis, one quadrant of its photosphere will be seen to be coming towards the viewer, and the other visible quadrant to be moving away. These motions produce blueshifts and redshifts, respectively, in the star's spectrum, usually observed as a broadening of the spectral lines. When the secondary star or planet transits the primary, it blocks part of the latter's disc, preventing some of the shifted light from reaching the observer. That causes the observed mean redshift of the primary star as a whole to vary from its normal value. As the transiting object moves across to the other side of the star's disc, the red ...
