Scientific paper

Several brown dwarfs and extra-solar planets have been discovered recently. Five confirmed extra-solar planets and three objects which are either planets or brown dwarfs are studied here, all of which circle normal stars, i.e. pulsar planets are excluded. For all of these objects, the orbits are known, i.e. the semi-major axis and (at least) a range in M dot sin i (with mass M and orbital inclination i). If giant planets form around other stars like it is assumed for Jupiter in the solar system, these planets should appear within a certain distance range from the central star. This can be checked using the present data, which is compiled and reviewed in this paper.
