We evaluate the extent to which newly detected exoplanetary systems containing at least four planets adhere to a generalized Titius–Bode (TB) relation. We find that the majority of exoplanet systems in our sample adhere to the TB relation to a greater extent than the Solar system does, particularly those detected by the Kepler mission. We use a generalized TB relation to make a list of predictions for the existence of 141 additional exoplanets in 68 multiple-exoplanet systems: 73 candidates…

We analyse a sample of multiple-exoplanet systems which contain at least three transiting planets detected by the Kepler mission (‘Kepler multiples’). We use a generalized Titius– Bode relation to

The reliability of the Titius–Bode relation and its implications for the search for exoplanets
• Physics
• 2020
The major semiaxes of the planets in our Solar System obey a simple geometric progression known as the Titius-Bode Relation (TBR), whose physical origin remains disputed. It has been shown that the
Generalized Titius-Bode Law and How to Statistically Verify it
The Titius-Bode law has been historically successful in predicting the location of planets in the solar system. While the majority believes it is merely a coincidence, we too agree with that;
Exoplanet Predictions Based on Harmonic Orbit Resonances

The current exoplanet database includes 5454 confirmed and candidate planets observed with the Kepler mission. We find 932 planet pairs from which we extract distance and orbital period ratios. While

The aim of our study is to explore the possible existence of Earth-mass planets in the habitable zone of 55~Cancri, an effort pursued based on detailed orbital stability simulations. This star is
A Prediction of an Additional Planet of the Extrasolar Planetary System Kepler-62 Based on the Planetary Distances' Long-Range Order
Recently, the discovery of the extrasolar planetary system Kepler-62 comprising five planets was reported. The present paper explores whether (i) the sequence of semimajor axis values of the planets
Gravitational quantization of exoplanet orbits in HD 40307, $\mu$ Ara, Kepler-26, Kepler-62, and Kepler-275: Comparing predicted orbits
According to the so-called "global polytropic model", hydrostatic equilibrium for a planetary system leads to the Lane-Emden differential equation. Solving this equation in the complex plane, we
The Secret of the Titius-Bode Law: A New Theory on How Our Planetary System Came Into Existence
Our planetary system still has several unsolved riddles. One of them is the Titius-Bode law. With the aid of this law, it is easy to find the distances of planets from the sun. For many astronomers,

Prior to the detection of its outermost Uranus-mass object, it had been suggested that GJ 876 could host an Earth-sized planet in a 15-day orbit. Observation, however, did not support this idea, but
