Modeling the resonant planetary system GJ 876
The two planets about the star GJ 876 appear to have undergone extensive migration from their point of origin in the protoplanetary disk — both because of their close proximity to the star (30 and 60 day orbital periods) and because of their occupying three stable orbital resonances at the 2:1 mean-motion commensurability. The resonances were most likely established by converging differential m...
متن کاملA Planetary Companion to the Nearby M 4 Dwarf , Gliese 876
Doppler measurements of the M4 dwarf star, Gliese 876, taken at both Lick and Keck Observatory reveal periodic, Keplerian velocity variations with a period of 61 days. The orbital fit implies that the companion has a mass of, M = 2.1 MJUP/ sin i, an orbital eccentricity of, e = 0.27±0.03, and a semimajor axis of, a = 0.21 AU. The planet is the first found around an M dwarf, and was drawn from a...
متن کاملDynamical evolution of the Gliese 581 planetary system
Context. The M dwarf Gliese 581 has recently been found to harbour two super Earths in addition to an already known close-in Neptune-mass planet. Interestingly, these two planets are considered as potentially habitable, and recent theoretical works give further credit to this hypothesis, in particular for the outermost planet (Gl 581 d). Aims. In this paper, we address the issue of the dynamica...
متن کاملDynamical evolution of the Gliese 436 planetary system - Kozai migration as a potential source for Gliese 436b's eccentricity
Context. The close-in planet orbiting GJ 436 presents a puzzling orbital eccentricity (e ≃ 0.14) considering its very short orbital period. Given the age of the system, this planet should have been tidally circularized a long time ago. Many attempts to explain this were proposed in recent years, either involving abnormally weak tides, or the perturbing action of a distant companion. Aims. In th...
متن کامل5 Period relation for the 2 : 1 resonance in the GJ 876 planetary system
The recent radial velocity Keck data for GJ876 in Laughlin et al. (2005) is shown to be in good agreement, apart from a 6 m/s scatter, with a theoretical calculation (Nauenberg, 2002) based on orbital parameters from a fit to the earlier Keck data. The time variation of the periods of the inner and outer planets, which are locked in a near 2:1 resonance, are evaluated, and their mean values, Pi...
