Summary[edit]

Description
English: Plot of the orbits of the Gliese 876 system.

Orbit data taken from Rivera et al. (2010), arXiv:1006.4221v1 [astro-ph.EP] "The Lick-Carnegie Exoplanet Survey: A Uranus-mass Fourth Planet for GJ 876 in an Extrasolar Laplace Configuration"

The configuration is given in Table 3 and the orbits are taken to be coplanar. As described in the paper, the mutual inclinations between the orbits are low, justifying the coplanar orbit plot.Planetary positions are given for the epoch of the orbital solution in the table, note that due to strong planet-planet interactions the orbits evolve rapidly with time.

The diagram is plotted centred on the barycentre of the total system, and each orbit has as its focus the barycentre of all objects in inner orbits, thus the star and the planetary orbits are displaced from the centre of the diagram.

Metadata

This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.
