47. The mass of the star is 1.5 M  ⊙ , and its age is about 30–160 × 106 or 109 years (Marois et al. 2008). The distance of the star from our Sun is 39.4 pc. This AR-13324 nmr system contains four massive planets and a dusty debris disc. It is likely that the planets d, c and b are in the 4:2:1 resonance.

In Table 1 the numbers in parenthesis CBL0137 represent the masses and semi-major axes obtained by Goździewski and Migaszewski (2009) at the time when the most interior planet was not known. This is a very good case to study the processes of gas giant formations at large distances (> 10 AU) from the central star. HD 73526   Also in the system HD 73526 there are two gas giants close to the 2:1 resonance. The central star around which these planets are orbiting is a dwarf of spectral type G6 (Tinney et al. 2006). Its effective

temperature is equal to 5590 K and the metallicity amounts to [Fe/H] = 0.25 ± 0.05 (Fischer and Valenti 2005). Sandor et al. (2007) have proposed different stable fit of the observed radial velocities than that reported XAV-939 research buy in Table 1. Their solution requires that the masses of the planets are 2.415 m J for planet b and 2.55 m J for planet c respectively. Moreover, the semi-major axes of the planetary orbits are 0.659 AU and 1.0445 AU respectively for planets b and c. According to their scenario for the evolution of this system, after a phase of slow convergent migration, which resulted in the 2:1 resonant capture, this system could have undergone a perturbation as for example the loss of matter from the disc or the planet-planet scattering. HD 82943   It seems that also the two gas giants in the system HD 82943 are in the 2:1 resonance (Goździewski and Konacki 2006). They orbit around a star of spectral type G0V, with effective temperature 5989 K and metallicity [Fe/H] = 0.26. The mass of the star is equal to 1.15 M  ⊙ , the

distance from our Sun is 27.46 pc (Sousa et al. 2008). The age of the star is evaluated to be 5 × 109 years (Moro-Martin PLEKHM2 et al. 2010). In this system apart from the planets also a debris disc is observed (Trilling et al. 2008). The dynamic structure of the system HD 82943 is not very well known. It is enough to remove one observational point from the analysis (one value of the radial velocity measurement) to obtain a completely different solution. There is also the possibility that there is a third planet in this system that is in the Laplace resonance with the other two planets (Wright et al. 2011). Wasp-3   The resonance 2:1 (Maciejewski et al. 2010) in the system Wasp-3 could be the most interesting for us among all configurations presented here so far, because it may provide a very good test case for the new mechanism of planetary migrations found in Podlewska and Szuszkiewicz (2009) and Podlewska-Gaca et al. (2012). Unfortunately, by now, the existence of the resonance has not been confirmed.
