It has been shown that an Earth-size planet or a super-Earth, in resonance with a transiting Jupiter-like body around an M star, can create detectable TTV signals (Kirste & Haghighipour, 2011).

Terrestrial planet and asteroid belt formation by Jupiter–Saturn chaotic excitation [PDF]
The terrestrial planets formed by accretion of asteroid-like objects within the inner solar system’s protoplanetary disk. Previous works have found that forming a small-mass Mars requires the disk to contain little mass beyond ~ 1.5 au (i.e., the disk ...

The Terrestrial Planet Finder [PDF]
The Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) is a space-based astronomical telescope that will combine high sensitivity and spatial resolution to detect and characterize /spl sim/150 planetary systems within 15 pc of our Sun. In a five-year mission, currently expected to commence in 2012, TPF will look for the atmospheric signatures of life using the methods of

Terrestrial planet formation. [PDF]
Advances in our understanding of terrestrial planet formation have come from a multidisciplinary approach. Studies of the ages and compositions of primitive meteorites with compositions similar to the Sun have helped to constrain the nature of the building blocks of planets.

Earth and Terrestrial Planet Formation
The growth and composition of Earth is a direct consequence of planet formation throughout the Solar System. We discuss the known history of the Solar System, the proposed stages of growth and how the early stages of planet formation may be dominated by ...

Stability of Terrestrial Planets in the Habitable Zone of Gl 777 A, HD 72659, Gl 614, 47 Uma and HD 4208 [PDF]
We have undertaken a thorough dynamical investigation of five extrasolar planetary systems using extensive numerical experiments. The systems Gl 777 A, HD 72659, Gl 614, 47 Uma and HD 4208 were examined concerning the question of whether they could host ...

Terrestrial Planet Formation Surrounding Close Binary Stars [PDF]
Disk material has been observed around both components of some young close binary star systems. It has been shown that if planets form at the right places within such disks, they can remain dynamically stable for very long times.

Migration of comets to the terrestrial planets [PDF]
AbstractWe studied the orbital evolution of objects with initial orbits close to those of Jupiter-family comets (JFCs), Halley-type comets (HTCs), and long-period comets, and the probabilities of their collisions with the planets. In our runs the probability of a collision of one object with the Earth could be greater than the sum of probabilities for ...
