Is this moon system stable?
+0
−0
The host star for this hypothetical system is 1.05 (M☉)
The gas giant is 20 percent more massive than Jupiter and orbits at 1.40 AU, now I need to know if these three orbits are stable around the planet
Moon One, 0.80 (M⊕) Orbits the host planet every 5 days
Moon Two, 0.56 (M⊕) Orbits the host planet every 11.8 days
Moon Three, 0.41 (M⊕) Orbits the host planet every 24 days
All three moons have eccentricities less than Earth.
Is life likely to exist on all of them? all three moons have large amounts of water on them.
