TLDR
In this paper, the authors present a review of the current understanding of the solar system for the exoplanetary science community, with a focus on the processes thought to have shaped the system we see today.Abstract:
Over the past three decades, we have witnessed one of the great revolutions in our understanding of the cosmos — the dawn of the Exoplanet Era. Where once we knew of just one planetary system (the solar system), we now know of thousands, with new systems being announced on a weekly basis. Of the thousands of planetary systems we have found to date, however, there is only one that we can study up-close and personal—the solar system. In this review, we describe our current understanding of the solar system for the exoplanetary science community — with a focus on the processes thought to have shaped the system we see today. In section one, we introduce the solar system as a single well studied example of the many planetary systems now observed. In section two, we describe the solar systemʼs small body populations as we know them today—from the two hundred and five known planetary satellites to the various populations of small bodies that serve as a reminder of the systemʼs formation and early evolution. In section three, we consider our current knowledge of the solar systemʼs planets, as physical bodies. In section four we discuss the research that has been carried out into the solar systemʼs formation and evolution, with a focus on the information gleaned as a result of detailed studies of the systemʼs small body populations. In section five, we discuss our current knowledge of planetary systems beyond our own — both in terms of the planets they host, and in terms of the debris that we observe orbiting their host stars. As we learn ever more about the diversity and ubiquity of other planetary systems, our solar system will remain the key touchstone that facilitates our understanding and modeling of those newly found systems, and we finish section five with a discussion of the future surveys that will further expand that knowledge.read more

Theoretical constraints imposed by gradient detection and dispersal on microbial size in astrobiological environments
TL;DR: The connections between information acquisition, motility, and microbial size are explored from an explicitly astrobiological standpoint and the constraints on organism size imposed by gradient detection and motility are elucidated in the form of simple heuristic scaling relations.

A Jupiter-Mass Companion to a Solar-Type Star
Michel Mayor,Didier Queloz +1 more
TL;DR: The presence of a Jupiter-mass companion to the star 51 Pegasi is inferred from observations of periodic variations in the star's radial velocity as discussed by the authors, which would be well inside the orbit of Mercury in our Solar System.
