We investigate the non-resonant, 3-D (spatial) model of the hierarchical system composed of point-mass stellar (or sub-stellar) binary and a low-mass companion (a circumbinary planet or a brown dwarf). We take into account the leading…
In spite of planetary resonances being a common dynamical mechanism acting on planetary systems, no general model exists for describing their properties, particularly for commensurabilities of any order and arbitrary values of the…
We summarize the analytic model and numerical simulations of stochastically forced planets in a turbulent disk presented in a recent paper by Rein and Papaloizou. We identify two modes of libration in systems with planets in mean motion…

Spatially localized oscillations in periodically forced systems are intriguing phenomena. They may occur in spatially homogeneous media (oscillons), but quite often emerge in heterogeneous media, such as the auditory system, where localized…
The majority of the discovered transiting circumbinary planets are located very near the innermost stable orbits permitted, raising questions about the origins of planets in such perturbed environments. Most favored formation scenarios…
