Received  December 2016 Revised  May 2017 Published  July 2017

Fund Project: F. R. Pereira was supported by the Program CAPES/Brazil (Proc 99999.007090/2014-05) at the Granada University and partially by Fapemig/Brazil (CEX APQ 00972/13)

We investigate the existence of solutions for a system of nonlocal equations involving the fractional Laplacian operator and with nonlinearities reaching the subcritical growth and interacting, in some sense, with the spectrum of the operator.

Keywords: Fractional systems, Mountain Pass Theorem, Linking Theorem, resonance, variational method.
