Extrasolar Planets and Mean-Motion Resonances
نویسنده
چکیده
The 2:1 orbital resonances of the GJ 876 system can be easily established by the differential planet migration due to planet-nebula interaction. Significant eccentricity damping is required to produce the observed orbital eccentricities. The geometry of the GJ 876 resonance configuration differs from that of the Io-Europa pair, and this difference is due to the magnitudes of the eccentricities involved. We show that a large variation in the configuration of 2:1 and 3:1 resonances and, in particular, asymmetric librations can be expected among future discoveries.

Turbulence in Extrasolar Planetary Systems Implies That Mean Motion Resonances Are Rare
This paper considers the effects of turbulence on mean motion resonances in extrasolar planetary systems and predicts that systems rarely survive in a resonant configuration. A growing number of systems are reported to be in resonance, which is thought to arise from the planet migration process. If planets are brought together and moved inward through torques produced by circumstellar disks, th...
متن کاملAnalytical treatment of planetary resonances
An ever-growing observational aggregate of extrasolar planets has revealed that systems of planets that reside in or near mean-motion resonances are relatively common. While the origin of such systems is attributed to protoplanetary disk-driven migration, a qualitative description of the dynamical evolution of resonant planets remains largely elusive. Aided by the pioneering works of the last c...
متن کاملCapture of planets into mean-motion resonances and the origins of extrasolar orbital architectures
The early stages of dynamical evolution of planetary systems are often shaped by dissipative processes that drive orbital migration. In multi-planet systems, convergent amassing of orbits inevitably leads to encounters with rational period ratios, which may result in establishment of mean-motion resonances. The success or failure of resonant capture yields exceedingly different subsequent evolu...
متن کاملDiversity and Origin of 2:1 Orbital Resonances in Extrasolar Planetary Systems
A diversity of 2:1 resonance configurations can be expected in extrasolar planetary systems, and their geometry can provide information about the origin of the resonances. Assembly during planet formation by the differential migration of planets due to planetdisk interaction is one scenario for the origin of mean-motion resonances in extrasolar planetary systems. The stable 2:1 resonance config...
متن کاملMean Motion Resonances in Extrasolar Planetary Systems with Turbulence, Interactions, and Damping
This paper continues our previous exploration of the effects of turbulence on mean motion resonances in extrasolar planetary systems. Turbulence is expected to be present in the circumstellar disks that give rise to planets, and these fluctuations act to compromise resonant configurations. This paper extends previous work by considering how interactions between the planets and possible damping ...
