Dynamical effects and their associated timescales in the WASP-49Ab system.
| Dynamical Effect | Description | Typical Timescale |
|---|---|---|
| Orbital period of satellite | Time taken by the satellite to complete one orbit around the planet. | [6.7–11.3] h |
| Orbital period of planet | Time taken by the planet to complete one orbit around the host star. | 2.8 d |
| Precession due to J2 | Precession of the satellite’s orbital plane caused by the planet’s oblateness. | ∼55 d |
| ZLK (planet-satellite-star) | Oscillations in inclination and eccentricity induced by the host star. | [17 − 30] d |
| Orbital period of binary | Time taken by the stellar binary to complete one orbit. | 7.18 × 103 yr |
| Relativistic precession | Precession of the planet’s periapsis due to general relativistic effects. | ∼104 yr |
| ZLK (planet-binary) | Oscillations in the planet’s inclination and eccentricity induced by WASP-49B. | ∼109 yr |
Notes. Timescales are calculated for satellites located between the Roche limit and 1.5 planetary radii.
