Dynamical evolution of the Gliese 581 planetary system (2007)
Beust, Hervé, Bonfils, Xavier, Delfosse, Xavier, Udry, Stephane
We address the issue of the dynamical evolution of the Gliese 581 planetary system. It is crucial when considering the planets' habitability because the secular evolution of the orbits may regulate...
