Capture of Planets Into Mean Motion Resonances and the Origins of Extrasolar Orbital Architectures
Konstantin Batygin
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…

Dynamical Evolution of Multi-Resonant Systems: the Case of GJ876
Konstantin Batygin, Katherine M. Deck, Matthew J. Holman
The GJ876 system was among the earliest multi-planetary detections outside of the Solar System, and has long been known to harbor a resonant pair of giant planets. Subsequent chara…

Jupiter's Decisive Role in the Inner Solar System's Early Evolution
Konstantin Batygin, Gregory Laughlin
The statistics of extrasolar planetary systems indicate that the default mode of planet formation generates planets with orbital periods shorter than 100 days, and masses substanti…
