On Wave Interference in Planet Migration: Dead Zone Torques Modified by Active Zone Forcing
We investigate planetary migration in the dead zone of a protoplanetary disk where there is a set of spiral waves propagating inward due to the turbulence in the active zone and the Rossby wave instability, which occurs at the transition between the dead

Influence of grain size and composition on the contraction rates of planetary envelopes and on planetary migration [PDF]
A crucial phase during planetary growth is the migration, when the planetary core has been assembled but has not yet opened a deep gap. During this phase, the planet is subject to fast type-I migration, which is mostly directed inwards, and the planet can lose a significant fraction of its semi-major axis.

Problem of planetary systems existence. II. Expected properties and the first results of the search
Specialities of planets composition, their physical properties and classification are discussed. For planetary systems of different ages analysis of coming configurations is carried out. It is shown, that there are two principal vicinities on the diagram

Application of recent results on the orbital migration of low mass planets: convergence zones [PDF]
Previous models of the combined growth and migration of protoplanets needed large ad hoc reduction factors for the type I migration rate as found in the isothermal approximation.

Planetary migration in precessing discs for S-type wide binaries [PDF]
ABSTRACT The discovery of numerous circumprimary planets in the last few years has brought to the fore the question of planet formation in binary systems. The significant dynamical influence, during the protoplanetary disc phase, of a binary companion on a giant planet has previously been highlighted for wide binary stars. In particular,

Good Combination of the Rossiter-McLaughlin Measurements and Direct Imaging Observations
We introduce a novel methodology to distinguish planetary migration mechanisms by a combination of Rossiter-McLaughlin measurements and direct imaging observations.

The dynamical role of the circumplanetary disc in planetary migration [PDF]
Numerical simulations of planets embedded in protoplanetary gaseous discs are a precious tool for studying the planetary migration ; however, some approximations have to be made. Most often, the selfgravity of the gas is neglected. In that case, it is not clear in the literature how the material inside the Roche lobe of the planet should be taken into ...

Migrating microbes and planetary protection
Since the dawn of the space age, humans have wrestled with concerns about planetary cross-contamination. Spacecraft launched from Earth can transport hitchhiker microbes to new worlds on both robotic and crewed vehicles. As plans proceed for future life detection and human exploration missions, planetary protection considerations are again uppermost on

Diversity and Origin of 2:1 Orbital Resonances in Extrasolar Planetary Systems [PDF]
(Abridged) A diversity of 2:1 resonance configurations can be expected in extrasolar planetary systems, and their geometry can provide information about the origin of the resonances.
