TLDR
In this paper, the two-body problem and the restricted three body problem are considered. And the disturbing function is extended to include the spin-orbit coupling and the resonance perturbations.Abstract:

Neptune’s Migration into a Stirred-Up Kuiper Belt: A Detailed Comparison of Simulations to Observations
Joseph M. Hahn,Renu Malhotra +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use N-body simulations to examine the consequences of Neptune's outward migration into the Kuiper Belt, with the simulated end states being compared rigorously and quantitatively to the observations.

Five New Multicomponent Planetary Systems
Steven S. Vogt,R. Paul Butler,Geoffrey W. Marcy,Debra A. Fischer,Debra A. Fischer,Gregory W. Henry,Greg Laughlin,Jason T. Wright,John Asher Johnson +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report Doppler measurements for six nearby G- and K-type main-sequence stars that show multiple low-mass companions, at least one of which has planetary mass.

Resonant trapping of planetesimals by planet migration: debris disk clumps and vega's similarity to the solar system
TL;DR: In this article, a model that can explain the observed clumpy structures of debris disks is described, based on numerical simulations of planets of different masses, Mpl, migrating at different rates, pl, through a dynamically cold (e < 0.01) planetesimal disk initially at a semimajor axis a.

Stability of Satellites around Close-in Extrasolar Giant Planets
Jason W. Barnes,David P. O'Brien +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the long-term dynamical stability of hypothetical moons orbiting extrasolar giant planets and derive an upper mass limit for those satellites that might have survived to the present day.

Radius and Structure Models of the First Super-Earth Planet
TL;DR: In this article, the structure and properties of the first super-Earth (mass ~7.5 M) were modeled and the radius of super-Earths was evaluated in view of future detection of similar planets by transits.
