First Astrometric Limits on Binary Planets and Exomoons Orbiting β Pictoris b

The Astronomical Journal
The search for exomoons, or moons in other star systems, has attracted significant interest in recent years, driven both by advancements in detection sensitivity and by the expanding population of known exoplanets. The β Pictoris system is a particularly

The Hunt for Exomoons with Kepler (HEK): I. Description of a New Observational Project

, 2012
Two decades ago, empirical evidence concerning the existence and frequency of planets around stars, other than our own, was absent. Since this time, the detection of extrasolar planets from Jupiter-sized to most recently Earth-sized worlds has blossomed ...

Model for Determining the Origin of Lunar Volatiles Based on Their Composition: Application to NASA’s VIPER and Other Landed Missions

The Planetary Science Journal
Lunar volatiles provide a potentially pristine record of the history of the Earth–Moon system in terms of both geologic activity and delivery of volatiles from the outer solar system.

The three-body problem

, 2014
The three-body problem, which describes three masses interacting through Newtonian gravity without any restrictions imposed on the initial positions and velocities of these masses, has attracted the attention of many scientists for more than 300 years ...

Excitation and Propagation of Eccentricity Disturbances in Planetary Systems

, 2004
The high eccentricities of the known extrasolar planets remain largely unexplained. We explore the possibility that eccentricities are excited in the outer parts of an extended planetary disk by encounters with stars passing at a few hundreds of AU ...
