... An alternate model dominated by smaller grains, near the blowout size a~0.5 ЮМm, located at 30-40 AU is also possible but requires the dust to have been produced recently, since such small grains will be expelled from the system by radiation pressure in approximately a few times 102 yr. ...

... ASTEROID’S MOONS : DISCOVERY BY RADAR . ... Moons of known asteroids have a low position ambiguity, which makes their discovery with powerful ground-based radar much easier than the discovery of new asteroids or other objects of Solar System. ...

... Many massive planets contrary to Jupiter have large eccentricities of orbits. ... Another problem is to study the conditions and boundaries of stable, regular motions of small mass planet in systems having `Jupiter' with large orbital eccentricity as well as properties of regular, stable, and irregular, chaotic motions. ... The regular eccentricity evolution described above demonstrates that stable quasi--circular orbits of small planet are unusual. ...
