Planetary mass function and planetary systems [PDF]
With planets orbiting stars, a planetary mass function should not be seen as a low-mass extension of the stellar mass function, but a proper formalism needs to take care of the fact that the statistical properties of planet populations are linked to the ...

Saving Planetary Systems: Dead Zones & Planetary Migration [PDF]
The tidal interaction between a disk and a planet leads to the planet's migration. A long-standing question regarding this mechanism is how to stop the migration before planets plunge into their central stars.

The protoplanetary disc HD 163296 as observed by ALMA
HD 163296 is one of the few protoplanetary discs displaying rings in the dust component. The present work uses ALMA observations of the 0.9 mm continuum emission, which have significantly better spatial resolution (~8 au) than previously available, to ...

The Planetary Theory of Solar Activity Variability: A Review
Commenting the 11-year sunspot cycle, Wolf (1859, MNRAS 19, 85–86) conjectured that “the variations of spot-frequency depend on the influences of Venus, Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn.” The high synchronization of our planetary system is already nicely ...

Observations and modeling of the transiting exoplanets XO-2b, HAT-P-18b, and WASP-80b [PDF]
We present photometric observations and transit solutions of the exoplanets XO-2b, HAT-P-18b and WASP 80b. Our solution of the XO-2b transit gave system parameters whose values are close to those of the previous studies. The solutions of the new

Planetary gear systems have many advantages over other gear systems. Previous studies on its dynamic characteristics mostly used Earth as the reference system, which is inconsistent with the actual working conditions of many planetary gear systems, such ...
