Gliese 876 e is an
Laplace resonance with the planets Gliese 876 c and Gliese 876 b: for each orbit of planet e, planet b completes two orbits and planet c completes four. This configuration is the second known example of a Laplace resonance after Jupiter's moons Io, Europa and Ganymede.[1]
Its orbit takes 124 days to complete.
Gliese 876 e has a mass similar to that of the planet
semimajor axis. Unlike Mercury, Gliese 876 e has a nearly circular orbit with an eccentricity of 0.055 ± 0.012.[1]
This planet, like b and c, has likely migrated inward.[4]
