One-dimensional PDFs for all four planets under the assumption that the periods are in a 1:2:4:8 resonance. The periods are randomly sampled from 10,000 solutions for HR 8799e in the case where the orbits are non-crossing (Figure 9). The periods are then multipled by the appropriate factor for each planet. There is also generally a fairly fixed set of orbital parameters that fit this criteria for HR 8799b, with strong weighting toward specific values for To and ω. In addition, resonance is forced, and higher eccentricity solutions are preferred for HR 8799b and HR 8799d than we find in our other simulations.
