Simultaneous formation of solar system giant planets [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2011 In the last few years, the so-called "Nice model" has got a significant importance in the study of the formation and evolution of the solar system. According to this model, the initial orbital configuration of the giant planets was much more compact than the one we observe today.

On the interaction between embedded planets and the corotation region of protoplanetary discs [PDF]
, 2015 PhDDisc material in the corotation region librates with respect to low-mass planets on horseshoe trajectories. The exchange of angular momentum associated with this libration gives rise to the non-linear corotation torque (the horseshoe drag).

Microlensing search for extra solar planets [PDF]
, 2015 Gravitational microlensing may be used to probe distant stars for planetary companions. The presence of a planet in the vicinity of a star acting as the lens may cause a short lived anomaly in the observed lightcurve of the lensing event.

Giant Planet Observations in NASA’s Planetary Data System
Remote Sensing, 2022 While there have been far fewer missions to the outer Solar System than to the inner Solar System, spacecraft destined for the giant planets have conducted a wide range of fundamental investigations, returning data that continues to reshape our ...

Chemical Convection and Stratification in the Earth's Outer Core
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 Convection in the Earth's outer core is driven by buoyancy sources of both thermal and compositional origin. The thermal and compositional molecular diffusivities differ by several orders of magnitude, which can affect the dynamics in various ways.

Weather conditions and weather forecast on the planets of the solar system based on the behavior of Rossby waves [PDF]
Glasnik Srpskog Geografskog Društva, 2010 Out of all atmospheric processes on the planets of the Solar System, special attention will be devoted here to leading circulation of planetary or global scales, known as Rossby waves.

Is There a Tenth Planet in the Solar System? [PDF]
Nature, 1972 WE have been analysing the longitudinal residuals of Neptune (N), partly from sheer interest aroused by the discordance between the pre-discovery position of N and its currently accepted orbit1 and because colleagues (already conducting a photographic hunt for a hypothetical tenth planet) sought our assistance in narrowing the field of search by using ...

Wide angle search for extrasolar planets by the transit method [PDF]
, 2008 The transit method is considered to be one of the most promising for discovering extrasolar planets. However, the method requires photometric precision of better than ∼ 1%.
