Table 1: Orbital parameters of the two planets of the planetary system GJ 876 at epoch JD 2 449 679.6316 assuming co-planarity and $i = 90^\circ$ as given by Laughlin et al. (2004). The adopted stellar mass is $M_* = 0.32\; {M_\odot}$ . P denotes the orbital period, M the mass of the planet, a the semi-major axis, e the eccentricity, ${\varpi }$ the angle of periastron at epoch, and q the mass ratio M/M_*.
Table 2: Parameters of the models used to study the evolution of a planetary system under the action of an outer disk. Given are a model name, the used thermodynamics (TD), isothermal (iso) or radiative (rad), the type of outer boundary condition (obc) (open or closed), the mass-ratio of the inner planet (q₁), the mass ratio or evolution of the outer planet (q₂), the figure in which the model is displayed. The displayed radiative models include heating and cooling only as the inclusion of the diffusion does not change results significantly.
