Trojan Pairs in the Hd 128311 and Hd 82943 Planetary Systems?
Two nearby stars, HD 128311 and HD 82943, are believed to host pairs of Jupiter-like planets involved in a strong first order 2:1 mean motion resonance. In this work we reanalyze available radial velocity (RV) measurements and demonstrate that it is also possible to explain the observed RV variations of the parents stars as being induced by a pair of Trojan planets. We show that these Trojan co...
متن کاملThe resonant structure of Jupiter’s trojan asteroids-II. What happens for different configurations of the planetary system
In a previous paper, we have found that the resonance structure of the present Jupiter Trojan swarms could be split up into four different families of resonances. Here, in a first step, we generalize these families in order to describe the resonances occurring in Trojan swarms embedded in a generic planetary system. The location of these families changes under a modification of the fundamental ...
متن کاملThe MATROS project: Stability of Uranus and Neptune Trojans. The case of 2001 QR322
We present in this paper an analysis of the long term stability of Trojan type orbits of both Uranus and Neptune. Employing the Frequency Map Analysis (hereinafter FMA) we measure the diffusion speed in the phase space for a large sample of Trojan orbits with short numerical integrations. High resolution diffusion maps are derived for different values of initial inclination. These maps outline ...
متن کاملTrojans in habitable zones.
With the aid of numerical experiments we examined the dynamical stability of fictitious terrestrial planets in 1:1 mean motion resonance with Jovian-like planets of extrasolar planetary systems. In our stability study of the so-called "Trojan" planets in the habitable zone, we used the restricted three-body problem with different mass ratios of the primary bodies. The application of the three-b...
متن کاملHow Long-Lived Are the Hypothetical Trojan Populationsof Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune?
We investigate the possibility that fractions of the primordial populations at the triangular Lagrangian points of Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have survived to the present and form (as yet unobserved) clusters of bodies coorbiting with these planets. Such leftovers would be analogs of the numerous objects (Trojans) leading and trailing the revolutions of Jupiter around the Sun. We focus on the ...
