Exoplanetary Scratchpad

[SysBP Img]

Ross 780 is also known as Gl 876 and the flare star IL Aquarii. Very nearby quadruple planet system and the first Red Dwarf found to have planets. The innermost planet (d, Hot Superterran, rocky-water) was the first found rocky planet around a normal star (the first true Super-Earth, at epistellar distances). The outer three planets c (Warm Saturnian), b (Warm Jovian), and e (Cold Neptunian) are in 1:2:4 (30d/60d/120d) resonance (the exoplanet resonance and first triple-resonant planets discovered). The outermost planet has a Mercury-like orbit. Planet b is second discovered by ELODIE after 51 Peg b and the second to have its mass exactly measured and the first to have done so by astrometry.

Planet d Must be Dense[]

Calculations show that in order to avoid evaporation by its star, planet d must have a density of greater than 3 g cm^-3 and contain a large fraction of massive elements. http://www.aanda.org/index.php?option=com_base_ora&access=standard&Itemid=129&url=articles/aa/abs/2007/03/aa5014-06/aa5014-06.html
