The result can be predicted from the Wisdom’s overlap criterion. Will update on this asap.

Please see attached a very preliminary draft of the paper that I sent to David K. already.

Given this result is so \*cool\* I think we should submit it to Science. I am now 99.9% sure that this is a real planetary system and that we identified the right solution. TTVs give us Mc/M\*, Pc (or ac for assumed M\*), ec$<$0.03, eb$<$0.02, ic$<$5 deg. We also have a very tight constraint on the pericenter and true longitudes.

Note that this is the first time that eccentricities were constrained from TTVs. The\
inclination constraint is also unique. David K. just sent me new error estimates and things look even better that what is described in the attached draft.

The stellar mass of KOI-872 was later revised to $0.90 \pm 0.04$ solar masses, indicating that the mass of KOI-872b cannot be larger than about 6 Jupiter masses.

We have done 17 iterations of the first draft and David K has written over 30 pages of the Supplementary Material. Gáspár Bakos, Lars Buchhave (Niels Bohr Institute) and Joel Hartman (Princeton University) improved the stellar parameters of KOI-872, and
