Abstract

Context. Most multi-planetary systems are characterized by hot-Jupiters close to their central star, moving on eccentric orbits. From a dynamical point of view, compact multi-planetary systems form a specific class of the general N-body problem (where ). Moreover, extrasolar planets are found in prograde orbits about their host star, and often in mean motion resonances (MMR).
