Kozai mechanism in planetary system in binary Gang Zhao1 Douglas N. C. Lin23 Ji-Lin Zhou1 1. Department of Astronomy Nanjing University 2. UCO/Lick Observatory, University of California 3. KIAA, Peking University The Kozai mechanism Perturbation of outer disk Ina star-planet-companion system, when Kozai resonance happens. The eccentricity will be periodically excited to a very large value. High mass disk Low mass disk
