Planetary migration and extrasolar planets in the 2/1 mean-motion resonance.

Abstract (from CDS):

In this paper, we present a new set of corotational solutions for the 2/1 commensurability, including previously known solutions and new results. Comparisons with observed exoplanets show that current orbital fits of three proposed resonant planetary systems are consistent with apsidal corotations.

We also discuss the possible relationship between the current orbital elements fits of known exoplanets in the 2/1 mean-motion resonance and the expected orbital configuration due to migration. We find that, as long as the orbital decay was sufficiently slow to be approximated by an adiabatic process, all captured planets should be in apsidal corotations. In other words, they should show a simultaneous libration of both the resonant angle and the difference in longitudes of pericenter.
