... The first of these, of the HL Tau protoplanetary disc, revealed a striking series of concentric rings but oddly, no spirals, as one might expect if the gaps in the disc are being carved by newborn planets. In this talk I ll show how the rings in HL Tau can be beautifully and convincingly explained as being caused by protoplanets, but only when the interaction between gas and dust in the disc is accounted for. ...

Influence of Asteroids and Trans-Neptunian Objects on the Motion of Major Planets and Masses of the Asteroid Main Belt and the TNO Ring . ... Perturbations from asteroids and Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) produce a significant effect on the orbits of planets and should be taken into account when high-accuracy planetary ephemerides are constructed. On the other hand, from an analysis of motion of the major planets some physical parameters of the asteroids and TNOs may be obtained. ...
