Orbital Stability of Closely-Spaced Four-planet Systems
A systematic study of four-planet orbital lifetimes, showing how mean motion resonances and initial conditions drive stability — with implications for planetary system age …

Extends orbital stability analysis to non-uniformly-spaced planetary systems.
Challenges conventional wisdom on multi-planet system stability — shows meaningful differences persist even for systems with large numbers of planets.
