The TRAPPIST-1 system: Orbital evolution, tidal dissipation, formation and habitability

We study the dynamical evolution of the TRAPPIST-1 system under the influence of orbital circularization through tidal interaction with the central star. We find that systems with parameters close to the observed one evolve into a state where consecutive planets are linked by first order resonances...
