Image Details
Caption: Figure 17.
Upper panel: MEGNO map of KIC 4862625b. The masses of primary and secondary component were set to 1.47
M
☉ and 0.37
M
☉, respectively. The binary semi-major axis and eccentricity were set to 0.177 AU and 0.2. The planet was treated as a test
particle. The cross-hair marks the best-fit osculating elements (
a,
e) = (0.64 AU, 0.1) of the planet. Arrows indicate the location of mean-motion resonances. Yellow (or light) color denotes
chaotic (possibly unstable) orbits and blue (dark) color denotes quasi-periodic orbits with |

0.001. Lower panel: same as the upper panel but now zooming into a narrower region of (
a,
e)-space of the planet.
