In this work we derive the minimum allowed orbital periods of H-rich bodies ranging in mass from Saturns mass to 1 $M_{odot}$, emphasizing gas giants and brown dwarfs over the range $0.0003 - 0.074 , M_odot$. Analytic fitting formulae for $P_{rm min}$ as a function of the mass of the body and as a function of the mean density are presented. We assume that the density of the host star is sufficiently high so as not to limit the minimum period. In many instances this implies that the host star is a white dwarf. This work is aimed, in part, toward distinguishing brown dwarfs from planets that are found transiting the host white dwarf without recourse to near infrared or radial velocity measurements. In particular, orbital periods of $lesssim 100$ minutes are very likely to be brown dwarfs. The overall minimum period over this entire mass range is $simeq 37$ minutes.
We deduce on hourly basis the spatial gradient of the cosmic ray density in three dimensions from the directional anisotropy of high-energy (~50 GeV) galactic cosmic ray (GCR) intensity observed with a global network of muon detectors on the Earths s
I report new orbital periods (P) for 13 classical novae, based on light curves from TESS, AAVSO, and other public archives. These new nova periods now constitute nearly one-seventh of all known nova periods. Five of my systems have P>1 day, which dou
We present UBVRI photometry of three symbiotic stars ZZ CMi, TX CVn and AG Peg carried out from 1997 to 2008 in Piwnice Observatory near Torun. To search orbital periods of these stars Fourier analysis was used. For two of them, TX CVn and AG Peg, we
We present a table of 58 cataclysmic binary orbital periods determined using data from MDM Observatory. Most are heretofore unpublished; some are refinements of previously published periods.
The impact of nova eruptions on the long-term evolution of Cataclysmic Variables(CVs) is one of the least understood and intensively discussed topics in the field. Acrucial ingredient to improve with this would be to establish a large sample of post-
