| THE SYSTEM | The YTS 110-120-0805 system consists of seven planets, two relatively well-populated asteroid belts, a thinly populated Kuiper Belt, and a small assortment of outer system objects. None of these are particularly unusual for a system of this size and age, save for the two innermost worlds, which are in a 1:1 resonant relationship with each other and may be categorized as Janusian MesoJovians. |

| Ayao and Oya | These two gas giants are in 1:1 resonance with each other, and exchange orbits on a regular basis Planet Type Janusian MesoJovian (both) Distance from Primary variable Insolation variable Diameter variable Density variable Gravity 20.2688 N/20.2890 N Day 99 hrs, 0 min, 52.56 sec (both) Year 71 days, 3 hrs, 14 min, 7.29 sec (both) Orbital Eccentricity variable Axial Tilt 0.055 degrees (both) VARIABLE PROPERTIES: Distance to primary: varies from a minimum of 8,181,500 km at periastron to a maximum of 0.98747 AU at apastron, with a semi-major axis of 0.52038 AU. NOTE: Periastron lies 201,750.552 km beyond the farthest extent of the central star's Roche lobe. Insolation: varies between 0.05 kW/m^2 at apastron to 15.61 kW/m^2 at periastron; mean value is 0.77 kW/m^2. Diameter varies between 150276.184 km at apastron and 165861.44 at periastron, with a mean value of 158068.92 km. Density: varies with radius; between 794.2003 kg/m^3 at periastron and 1067.8147 kg/m^3 at apastron, with a mean value of 917.5440 kg/m^3 (Ayao); Oya's corresponding values are 794.9951 kg/m^3, 1068.8832 kg/m^3, and 18.4622 kg/m^3, respectively. Orbital eccentricity: Ayao and Oya increase/decrease their respective orbital eccentricities by 0,00043 per orbit |
