This paper focuses on two-planet systems in a first-order $(q+1):q$ mean motion resonance and undergoing type-I migration in a disc. We present a detailed analysis of the resonance valid for any value of $q$. Expressions for the equilibrium eccentricities, mean motions and departure from exact resonance are derived in the case of smooth convergent migration. We show that this departure, not assumed to be small, is such that period ratio normally exceeds, but can also be less than, $ (q+1)/q.$ Departure from exact resonance as a function of time for systems starting in resonance and undergoing divergent migration is also calculated. We discuss observed systems in which two low mass planets are close to a first-order resonance. We argue that the data are consistent with only a small fraction of the systems having been captured in resonance. Furthermore, when capture does happen, it is not in general during smooth convergent migration through the disc but after the planets reach the disc inner parts. We show that although resonances may be disrupted when the inner planet enters a central cavity, this alone cannot explain the spread of observed separations. Disruption is found to result in either the system moving interior to the resonance by a few percent, or attaining another resonance. We postulate two populations of low mass planets: a small one for which extensive smooth migration has occurred, and a larger one that formed approximately in-situ with very limited migration.

Recent works on three-planet mean motion resonances (MMRs) have highlighted their importance for understanding the details of the dynamics of planet formation and evolution. While the dynamics of two-planet MMRs are well understood and approximately described by a one degree of freedom Hamiltonian, little is known of the exact dynamics of three-bodies resonances besides the cases of zeroth-order MMRs or when one of the body is a test particle. In this work, I propose the first general integrable model for first-order three-planet mean motion resonances. I show that one can generalize the strategy proposed in the two-planet case to obtain a one degree of freedom Hamiltonian. The dynamics of these resonances are governed by the second fundamental model of resonance. The model is valid for any mass ratio between the planets and for every first-order resonance. I show the agreement of the analytical model with numerical simulations. As examples of application I show how this model could improve our understanding of the capture into MMRs as well as their role on the stability of planetary systems.

We present preliminary though statistically significant evidence that shows that multiplanetary systems that exhibit a 2/1 period commensurability are in general younger than multiplanetary systems without commensurabilities, or even systems with oth er commensurabilities. An immediate possible conclusion is that the 2/1 mean-motion resonance in planetary systems, tends to be disrupted after typically a few Gyrs.
GAIA leads us to step into a new era with a high astrometry precision of 10 uas. Under such a precision, astrometry will play important roles in detecting and characterizing exoplanets. Specially, we can identify planet pairs in mean motion resonance s(MMRs) via astrometry, which constrains the formation and evolution of planetary systems. In accordance with observations, we consider two Jupiters or two super-Earths systems in 1:2, 2:3 and 3:4 MMRs. Our simulations show the false alarm probabilities(FAPs) of a third planet are extremely small while the real two planets can be good fitted with signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)> 3. The probability of reconstructing a resonant system is related with the eccentricities and resonance intensity. Generally, when SNR >= 10, if eccentricities of both planets are larger than 0.01 and the resonance is quite strong, the probabilities to reconstruct the planet pair in MMRs >= 80%. Jupiter pairs in MMRs are reconstructed more easily than super-Earth pairs with similar SNR when we consider the dynamical stability. FAPs are also calculated when we detect planet pairs in or near MMRs. FAPs for 1:2 MMR are largest, i.e., FAPs > 15% when SNR <= 10. Extrapolating from the Kepler planet pairs near MMRs and assuming SNR to be 3, we will discover and reconstruct a few tens of Jupiter pairs and hundreds of super-Earth pairs in 2:3 and 1:2 MMRs within 30 pc. We also compare the differences between even and uneven data cadence and find that planets are better measured with more uniform phase coverage.
The statistical results of transiting planets show that there are two peaks around 1.5 and 2.0 in the distribution of orbital period ratios. A large number of planet pairs are found near the exact location of mean motion resonances (MMRs). In this wo rk, we find out that the depletion and structures of gas disk play crucial roles in driving planet pairs out of exact location of MMRs. Under such scenario, planet pairs are trapped into exact MMRs during orbital migration firstly and keep migrating in a same pace. The eccentricities can be excited. Due to the existence of gas disk, eccentricities can be damped leading to the change of orbital period. It will make planet pairs depart from the exact location of MMRs. With depletion timescales larger than 1 Myr, near MMRs configurations are formed easily. Planet pairs have higher possibilities to escape from MMRs with higher disk aspect ratio. Additionally, with weaker corotation torque, planet pairs can depart farther from exact location of MMRs. The final location of the innermost planets in systems are directly related to the transition radius from optically thick region to inner optically thin disk. While the transition radius is smaller than 0.2 AU at the late stage of star evolution process, the innermost planets can reach around 10 days. Our formation scenario is a possible mechanism to explain the formation of near MMRs configuration with the innermost planet farther than 0.1 AU.

Recent studies claimed that planets around the same star have similar sizes and masses and regular spacings, and that planet pairs usually show ordered sizes such that the outer planet is usually the larger one. Here I show that these patterns can be largely explained by detection biases. The emph{Kepler} planet detections are set by the transit signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). For different stellar properties and orbital period values, the same S/N corresponds to different planetary sizes. This variation in the detection threshold naturally leads to apparent correlations in planet sizes and the observed size ordering. The apparently correlated spacings, measured in period ratios, between adjacent planet pairs in systems with at least three detected planets are partially due to the arbitrary upper limit that the earlier study imposed on the period ratio, and partially due to the varying stability threshold for different planets. After these detection biases are taken into account, we do not find strong evidence for the so-called intra-system uniformity or the size ordering effect. Instead, the physical properties of emph{Kepler} planets are largely independent of the properties of their siblings and the parent star. It is likely that the dynamical evolution has erased the memory of emph{Kepler} planets about their initial formation conditions. In other words, it will be difficult to infer the initial conditions from the observed properties and the architecture of emph{Kepler} planets.
