3) Planets and Brown Dwarfs . ... By its nature, this method is most sensitive to massive planets orbiting close to their stars. ... That means that some of the more massive extrasolar planets could actually be brown dwarfs (although the statistics of the finds suggest that most of them are not). ... Another possible difference between brown dwarfs and massive planets is how they are born. ... They would base the fundamental definition on the mode of formation: a planet is built from planetesimals. ...

... We study in this paper the effect of shock excitation of leaky and surface modes by the p-polarized electromagnetic wave incident on the rapidly ionized gaseous or solid layer. ... For example, if [pic] (solid density, multiple ionized plasma), the basic frequency [pic], [pic], [pic] we find, that the wavelength of leaky wave [pic] is in soft x rays band. ... If [pic] (low density gaseous plasma), the basic frequency [pic], [pic], [pic] we find, that the wavelength of leaky wave [pic] is in THz band...

The rising tides. In 1777 Laplas made a report in the Paris academy about the rising tides and the falling tides. Their first model was considered by Newton and Kepler so that the rising tides and the falling tides were caused by the Moon and the Sun. This theory was developed by I. Bernully, Ailer and d'Alamber. Their scheme about the rising tides following on two directions (one to the Moon and the other to the Sun) was suited the non deep ocean in the stable planet. ...
