Spin-Orbit Evolution of GJ 667C system: Effects of composition and perturbations
Abstract
We studied the tidal evolution of the GJ 667C system, focused on the effects that different compositions and perturbations, have on the spin-down time and the probability to be trapped in a low spin-orbit resonance. For planets b and c of the system, we evaluated the probabilities of capture in resonances below 5:2 for two compositions: Earth-like (El) and Waterworld (Ww) planets.
