Enligt teorier om hur planeter formas föds gasjättar med cirkulära, vida banor långt från sin stjärna precis som planeterna i solsystemet. Trots detta har många av de observerade exoplaneterna väldigt elliptiska (excentrAccording to theories of planet formation, jovian planets are formed on relatively circular, non-inclined, wide orbits. Despite this, many observed jovian planets are found on tight eccentric orbits. This problem could possibly be solved with multiple-planet systems. A planet in a multiple-planet system is not only affected by the host star but also by the other planets. The interactions express t
