Resumen:
The major semiaxes of the planets in our Solar System obey a simple geometric progression known as the Titius-Bode Relation (TBR), whose physical origin remains disputed. Poveda & Lara (2008) found that the 55 Cancri system follows a TB-type exponential relation (an = a0 ebn), with a correlation coefficient greater than 0.992, if a vacancy is considered between a pair of planets, that is, a planet not yet discovered due to observational limit. The objective of this work is to quantify the capacity of the TBR to predict exoplanets in planetary systems from observational data (see also Bovaird & Lineweaver 2013). © 2023: Instituto de Astronomía, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
