Resonances in the Solar and exoplanetary systems I. I. Shevchenko Pulkovo Observatory Abstract Dynamical problems on the orbital resonances, including mean motion resonances (both two-body and three-body ones) and secular resonances, are considered in application to the dynamics of the Solar and exoplanetary systems. The analyzed systems include multiplanetary (those with two or more than two planets) systems and planetary systems of double stars. ... Circumbinary planets at the "edge of chaos". ...

Stealing Pluto's thunder by Catherine E. BorschИ This artist's concept shows the planet cataloged as 2003UB313 at the lonely outer fringes of our solar system. ... The new planet, which is yet to be formally named, is at least as big as Pluto and about three times farther away from the sun than Pluto. ... On July 29, 2005, Dr. Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) announced the discovery of the new planet in the outer region of our solar system. ...

After fragments of the Vortex sleeves separated, whirlwinds of second and third orders ("NC" - new micro-vortex) were generated- future planet cores and their satellites - all of them developing independently, governed by the common laws of development of cosmogenic vortexes. ... Our planet's core today is comprised of considerably deteriorated cosmogenic vortex; consequently, the Earth has a moderated magnetic field. ...
