Scientific paper

Planets locked in mean-motion resonances are a natural outcome of migration in a gas disk, but how durable are such configurations? I will show how mean-motion resonances may commonly be disrupted later in a system's evolution, sometimes violently so. The extrasolar planets observed to be in mean-motion resonances may thus be just the survivors of an originally larger resonant population. Even our own Solar System may have started out this way.
