STABILITY OF SATELLITES IN CLOSELY PACKED PLANETARY SYSTEMS

STABILITY OF SATELLITES IN CLOSELY PACKED PLANETARY SYSTEMS

We perform numerical integrations of four-body (star, planet, planet, satellite) systems to investigate the stability of satellites in planetary systems with tightly packed inner planets (STIPs). We find that the majority of closely spaced stable two-planet systems can stably support satellites acro...
