Mercury: The Planet That Should Not Exist
Mercury’s Curious Position in the Solar System Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system and the closest to the Sun. Its size, density, and orbital dynamics have long puzzled scientists. Despite being a rocky world like Earth and Venus, Mercury’s extremely tight orbit and unexpectedly high metallic core have raised questions about how…

Architecture Of Planetary Systems With And Without Outer Giant Planets: ILP Detections Around HD 23079, HD 196067, and HD 86226
Introduction: Unraveling the Link Between Outer Giant Planets and Inner Light Planets Understanding whether outer giant planets (OGPs) shape the formation and arrangement of inner light planets (ILPs) is central to planetary-system theory. The debate spans theoretical expectations—some models predict a positive correlation between OGPs and ILPs, while others anticipate an anticorrelation due to dynamical…

Architecture Of Planetary Systems With And Without Outer Giant Planets: Inner Planet Detections Around HD 23079, HD 196067, And HD 86226
Understanding the Link Between Outer Giant Planets and Inner Light Planets Planetary systems come in a dazzling variety, but a central question persists: do outer giant planets (OGPs) influence the presence and properties of inner light planets (ILPs)? Theoretical models offer contrasting predictions. Some scenarios anticipate a positive correlation, where giant planets shepherd or promote…
