Overstable librations can account for the paucity of mean motion resonances among exoplanet pairs

We assess the multi-planet systems discovered by the Kepler satellite in terms of current ideas about orbital migration and eccentricity damping due to planet–disk interactions. Our primary focus is on first order mean motion resonances, which we investigate analytically to lowest order in eccentric...
