The 2:1 librating-circulating planetary configuration produced by a hybrid scenario
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 November 2011
Abstract
Different migration scenario of two giant planets may play a major role in forming the diverse resonant planetary configurations. The studies on the HD 128311 and HD 73526 systems show that two gas giants are captured in a 2:1 resonance but not in apsidal corotation, because one of the resonant argument circulates over the dynamical evolution. Herein we explore potential scenarios to produce the 2:1 librating-circulating resonance configuration. In the simulations, we find that both colliding or scattering events at early stage of dynamical evolution can induce the configurations trapped into resonance. In this sense, the librating-circulating resonance configuration is more likely to form by a hybrid mechanism of scattering and collision.
