Abstract
The Atacama Large Millimeter Array observations of the disk around HD 163296 have resolved a crescent-shape substructure at around 55 au, inside and off-center from a gap in the dust that extends from 38 to 62 au. In this work we propose that both the crescent and the dust rings are caused by a compact pair (period ratio ≃4:3) of sub-Saturn-mass planets inside the gap, with the crescent corresponding to dust trapped at the L
5 Lagrange point of the outer planet. This interpretation also reproduces well the gap in the gas recently measured from the CO observations, which is shallower than what is expected in a model where the gap is carved by a single planet. Building on previous works arguing for outer planets at ≈86 and ≈137 au, we provide a global model of the disk that best reproduces the data and shows that all four planets may fall into a long resonant chain, with the outer three planets in a 1:2:4 Laplace resonance. We show that this configuration is not only an expected outcome from disk–planet interaction in this system, but it can also help constrain the radial and angular position of the planet candidates using three-body resonances.
