Overstable resonance capture of a two-planet system with convergent migration. The planet and disk parameters are mi=1 M⊕, mo=10 M⊕, τm=8 × 105 yr and τm/τe = 103. By t≃3 × 104 yr, the planets become trapped in a 2:1 MMR. The inner planet’s eccentricity rapidly excites to 0.02, followed by oscillations with significant amplitude, while the resonant angle exhibits similar behavior. In phase space, the trajectory initially evolves toward a resonant equilibrium point (black dot) before stabilizing into a limit cycle around this point. We term this phenomenon–where the system remains trapped by librating around an equilibrium with the finite amplitude–an overstable trap.
