We report the discovery of a minor planet (2006 SQ372) on an orbit with a perihelion of 24 AU and a semimajor axis of 796 AU. Dynamical simulations show that this is a transient orbit and is unstable...
Transit Timing Observations of the Extrasolar Hot-Neptune Planet GL 436b (2009)
Stringfellow, Guy S., Coughlin, Jeffrey L., López-Morales, Mercedes, Becker, Andrew C., Krajci, Tom, Mezzalira, Fabio, ...
Gliese 436 is an M dwarf with a mass of 0.45 Msun and hosts the extrasolar planet GL 436b [3, 6, 7, 2], which is currently the least massive transiting planet with a mass of ~23.17 Mearth [10], and...
