System Data:
Simulations:
So let's look at this system is a bit more detail and compare 4 different runs to check
for sensitivity to initial conditions. If this is correct, then one could assume
that the observational parameters are actually not correct since they would not result in a stable
system for long enough for us to observe it.
Final planet parameters for the four simulations was:
HD160691
HD160691
Mstar = 1.08 Msun
M1 = 1.70 Mjup M2 = 1.00 Mjup
e1 = 0.31 e2 = 0.80
a1 = 1.50 AU a2 = 2.3 AU
HZin = 0.816 AU
HZout = 1.808 AU
TP data:
Results:
NTP = 1000, ecc = [0.0,0.1], inc = [0.0,0.2], sma = [0.816,1.808] AU
Ran for 106 years with dt = 0.035 yrs = 12.965 days
After just 104 years there were 0, 611, 40 and 922 TP left.
But in all cases a planet was ejected! Extremely unstable system...
planet1 - a=0.07, e=20.3, i=180
planet2 - a=25.2, e=0.91, i=0.0
so P1 flung into star & P2 eccentricity pumped
planet1 - a=1.07, e=0.26, i=0.0
planet2 - a=10.4, e=1.54, i=180
planet1 - a=0.81, e=0.86, i=0.0
planet2 - a=0.77, e=129.6, i=0.0
planet1 - a=2.93, e=0.62, i=0.0
planet2 - a=12.7, e=1.12, i=180.0
