Why the Laplace Resonant Angle is So Special.

CHRISTODOULOU D.M., LAYCOCK S.G.T. and KAZANAS D.

Abstract (from CDS):

We analyze adjacent local pairs of mean-motion resonances (MMRs) between three orbiting bodies designed to produce a Laplace resonant phase angle φL or one of its multiples NφL, where integer N ≥ 2. This assumption yields a concrete pattern of Laplace resonances, very few of which (with angles φL and 2φL) have been observed in actual (extra)solar subsystems. All other MMRs face issues of proximity or remoteness of the orbits (they are too close or too far apart). We highlight one as yet unobservable MMR in each N-sequence for which these issues appear to be less acute.
