Article Description

In this paper, a new open-source package ‘resonances’ written in python is introduced. It allows to find, analyse, and plot two-body and three-body mean-motion eccentricity-type resonances in the Solar and other planetary systems. The package has a better accuracy of the automatic identification procedure for resonant objects compared to previous studies. Furthermore, it has built-in integrations with AstDyS and NASA JPL catalogues. The code is extensively documented and tested with automatic tests. The package is available on GitHub under MIT Licence.
