  October 2023 News research papers and Starcharts.   It’ been a busy interesting month, lots of interesting subjects and links and papers to follow up on and read. I need to read about the aero capture mission to the ice giants of the solar system. There is a good look at the number of Exoplanets and also super earths Ocean hycean Planets also.           Research papers     An Assay on The Hobbesian Trap and Axioms of First Contact https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0265964623000486       Modified Newtonian Dynamics as an Alternative to the Planet Nine Hypothesis https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/acef1e     The Properties and Origin of Kuiper Belt Object Arrokoth's Large Mounds https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/PSJ/acf317     A Tale of 3 Dwarf Planets https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.15230       No Evidence for More Earth-sized Planets in the Habitable Zone of Kepler's M versus FGK
