Abstract

Extrasolar systems may have planets with inclined orbits, prograde or retrograde. In this project we will study formation mechanisms of extrasolar systems with planets in orbits with high relative inclinations. We will analyse the evolution of these systems due to dissipative effects, in particular capture and stability of resonant configurations.
