TL;DR: The Working Group on Extrasolar Planets (hereafter the WGESP) was created at a meeting of the IAU Executive Council in 1999 as a Working Group of IAU Division III and was renewed for three more years at the International Astronomical Union General Assembly in 2003.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protostellar formation in rotating interstellar clouds. VIII - Inner core formation
TL;DR: In this article, a variety of spherically symmetric one-dimensional (1D) calculations intended to determine the robustness of the dynamical hiccup phenomenon in protostellar cores are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analytical solutions for radiative transfer: implications for giant planet formation by disk instability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present two analytical solutions for radiative transfer in spherical coordinates, suitable for testing the code employed in all of the Boss disk instability calculations, which strongly support the disk instability mechanism for forming giant planets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secretly Eccentric: The Giant Planet And Activity Cycle Of GJ 328
TL;DR: In this paper, a 2 Jupiter-mass planet was discovered in an eccentric 11-yr orbit around the K7/M0 dwarf GJ 328, based on 10 years of radial velocity (RV) data from the Hobby-Eberly and Harlan J. Smith telescopes at McDonald Observatory, and from the Keck Telescope at Mauna Kea.

Multiplicity in Early Stellar Evolution
Bo Reipurth,Cathie J. Clarke,Alan P. Boss,Simon P. Goodwin,Luis F. Rodríguez,Keivan G. Stassun,Andrei Tokovinin,Hans Zinnecker +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a detailed overview of the multiplicity statistics of the field, which form a boundary condition for all models of binary evolution and discuss various formation mechanisms for massive binaries, and the properties of massive trapezia.
