In order to gain possible hints for planet formation from the current data of known extra-solar planets, the period-ratios and mass-ratios of adjacent planet pairs in multi-planet systems are determined. A moderate period-ratio-mass-ratio…

Among $\sim 160$ of the multiple exoplanetary systems confirmed, about $30\%$ of them have neighboring pairs with a period ratio $\leq 2$. A significant fraction of these pairs are around mean motion resonance (MMR), more interestingly,…
