We investigate the orbital stability of a putative Jovian planet in a compact binary \nu Octantis reported by Ramm et al. We re-analyzed published radial velocity data in terms of self-consistent Newtonian model and we found stable best-fit…

The study of orbital resonances allows for the constraint of planetary properties of compact systems. We can predict a system's resonances by observing the orbital periods of the planets, as planets in or near mean motion resonance have…

A restricted planar circular three-body system, consisting of the Sun and two planets, is studied as a simple model for a planetary system. The mass of the inner planet is considered to be larger and the system is assumed to be moving in a…
