Abstract
The square law r(n)=r(1)*n^2 for orbital sizes (r(1) is
a constant dependent on the particular system, and n 
are consecutive integer numbers) is applied to the 
recently discovered planets of ups Andromedae and to 
pulsars PSR B1257+12 and PSR 1828-11. A comparison with 
the solar planetary system is made. The product n*v(n)
of the orbital velocity v(n) with the corresponding
orbital number n for planets of ups Andromedae is in
good agreement with those for terrestrial planets,
demostrating the generality of the square law in 
dynamics of diverse planetary systems. 
"Quantized velocity" of n*v(n) is very close to 24 km/s,
i.e. to the step found in the quantized redshift of
galaxies. A definite conclusion for planetary systems
of pulsars requires additional observations.
