Examination of the properties of known transitting extrasolar planets reveals a curious bimodality when planets are ordered relative to their Safronov numbers
(square of the ratio of planet escape velocity to orbital velocity). This suggests that gravitational focussing
plays an important role in deciding the final system parameters. We will examine
how this might occur in specific models.
