5. a=0.0317 AU

6. e=0 -> Variations in the Transit time?

7. WASP-3 MNRAS New observations of WASP-3b Transits

8. WASP-3 O-C Diagram litertature data new data

9. WASP-3 additional planet? 15M Earth at 0.0507 AU (close to 2:1 resonance) additional family of solutions close to 5:3 res

11. Additional source of information to constrain observations or the possibility of additional objects

12. -> Dynamics

13. Can numerical simulations help? 47 Uma HD 4208

14. Stability Diagram

15. Stability Diagram:changing e_pl Eccentricity of Wasp-3b has to be small How eccentric can WASp-3b be? e_pl=0.05 e_pl=0.1

16. Stability Diagram:changing inclination No big difference... Region of instability dissolves i=10° i=20° i=30°

17. Stability Diagram:changing mass and eccentricity M=1.93 MJ M=2.19 MJ e=0.00 e=0.05 e=0.10

18. Stability Diagram:changing test particle mass no big difference between 1, 7 and 15 Earthmasses M=1 MEarth M=7 MEarth M=15 MEarth

19. Constraints? Dynamical constraints on the eccentricity and mass of WASP-3b better constraints on WASP-3c -> more observations -> analysis of resonances WASP-3c lies inside the stable region -> but very close to the chaotic region

20. Transit-Time Variations Resonances enhance TTVs 2:1 res (0.0503AU) 0.0507AU away from res 0.0507AU, e=0.1

21. Transit-Time Variations 2:1 res (0.0503AU) 3:2 res (0.0415AU) 2:1 has larger stable region for low e

22. Transit-Time Variations 5:2 res (0.0584AU) 5:3 res (0.0446AU) 5:2 stable for low e; 5:3 unstable

24. WASP3c lies very close to chaotic region

25. 2:1 resonance is a better place for a planet than 5:3 or 3:2

26. new observational campaigns are currently ongoing

27. -> new data will lead to new parameters of WASP3c

28. -> new dynamical constraints
