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:

The Lick-Carnegie Exoplanet Survey: A 3.1 M ⊕ Planet in the Habitable Zone of the Nearby M3V Star Gliese 581
Steve Vogt,R. Paul Butler,Eugenio J. Rivera,Nader Haghighipour,Gregory W. Henry,Michael H. Williamson +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented 11 years of HARPS precision radial velocities (RVs) of the nearby M3V star Gliese 581, combining their data set of 122 precision RVs with an existing published 4.3-year set of 119 HARPS RVs.

Cyclostratigraphy and its revolutionizing applications in the earth and planetary sciences
TL;DR: In this paper, the geochronologic value of cyclostratigraphy has been affirmed through intercalibration with high-precision radioisotope dating, which today has the potential to define the ages of stratigraphic horizons with 2σ uncertainties at the scale of a precession cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of tidal inflation instability on the mass and dynamical evolution of extrasolar planets with ultrashort periods
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the possibility of substantial inflation of short-period Jupiter-mass planets, as a result of their internal tidal dissipation associated with the synchronization and circularization of their orbits.

Planetary Surface Processes
TL;DR: The grand tour of the universe can be found in this article, where the shapes of planets and moons are discussed and the relative strength versus gravity between them is compared to the Earth's surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term tidal evolution of short-period planets with companions
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the eccentricity of a short-period planet will only be excited as long as its (non-resonant) companion's eccentricity is non-zero.
