Fast motion of exoplanets
Main Article Content
Abstract
Do exoplanets revolve randomly around their stars? A substantial part of superfast exoplanets is shown to move with periods near-commensurate with timescales PE and/or 2PE/π, where the value PE = 9590(90) s coincides with both 1/9th of the mean solar day and the period of solar pulsations, 9600.606(12) s (confidence level of the composite resonance is nearly 99.97% for exoplanetary periods less than two days). There is a noticeable lack of orbits with periods of/about 3πPE ≈ 1.05 days as well. The true cause of these strange PE-coherent phenomena is unknown.
