Measuring the Orbital Parameters of Radial Velocity Systems in Mean Motion Resonance---a Case Study of HD 200964
M. M. Rosenthal, W. Jacobson-Galan, B. Nelson +8
The presence of mean motion resonances (MMRs) complicates analysis and fitting of planetary systems observed through the radial velocity (RV) technique. MMR can allow planets to re…
Sensitivity Analyses of Exoplanet Occurrence Rates from Kepler and Gaia
Megan Shabram, Natalie Batalha, Susan E. Thompson +11
We infer the number of planets-per-star as a function of orbital period and planet size using archival data products with updated stellar properties from the Data R…
Forming Gliese 876 Through Smooth Disk Migration
Adam M. Dempsey, Benjamin E. Nelson
We run a suite of dissipative N-body simulations to determine which regions of phase space for smooth disk migration are consistent with the GJ876 system, an M-dwarf hosting three…
Quantifying the Bayesian Evidence for a Planet in Radial Velocity Data
Benjamin E. Nelson, Eric B. Ford, Johannes Buchner +5
We present results from a data challenge posed to the radial velocity (RV) community: namely, to quantify the Bayesian "evidence" for n={0,1,2,3} planets in a set of synthetically…
Systematic mischaracterization of exoplanetary system dynamical histories from a model degeneracy near mean-motion resonance
John H. Boisvert, Benjamin E. Nelson, Jason H. Steffen
There is a degeneracy in the radial velocity exoplanet signal between a single planet on an eccentric orbit and a two-planet system with a period ratio of 2:1. This degeneracy coul…
The crucial role of ground-based, Doppler measurements for the future of exoplanet science
Jason H. Steffen, Peter Plavchan, Timothy Brown +8
We outline the important role that ground-based, Doppler monitoring of exoplanetary systems will play in advancing our theories of planet formation and dynamical evolution. A censu…
