Chaotic Capture of a Retrograde Moon by Venus and the Reversal of Its Spin
Universe, 2023 Planets are surrounded by fractal surfaces (traditionally called Hill spheres), separating the inner zones of long-term stable orbital motion of their satellites from the outer space where the gravitational pull from the Sun takes over.

The Chemical Composition of an Extrasolar Minor Planet
, 2007 We report the relative abundances of 17 elements in the atmosphere of the white dwarf star GD 362, material that, very probably, was contained previously in a large asteroid or asteroids with composition similar to the Earth/Moon system. The asteroid may

The PTF Orion Project: a Possible Planet Transiting a T-Tauri Star [PDF]
, 2012 We report observations of a possible young transiting planet orbiting a previously known weak-lined T-Tauri star in the 7-10 Myr old Orion-OB1a/25-Ori region. The candidate was found as part of the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) Orion project.
