On the eccentricity of Proxima b
Robert A. Brown
We apply Monte Carlo projection to the radial velocity data set that Anglada Escude et al. (2016) use for the discovery of Proxima b. They find an upper limit to the orbital eccent…
Improving estimates of msini by expanding RV datasets
Robert A. Brown
We develop new techniques for estimating the fractional uncertainty (F) in the projected planetary mass (msini) resulting from Keplerian fits to radial-velocity (RV) datasets of kn…
True Masses of Radial-Velocity Exoplanets
Robert A. Brown
We explore the science power of space telescopes used to estimate the true masses of known radial-velocity exoplanets by means of astrometry on direct images. We translate a desire…
Science Parametrics for Missions to Search for Earthlike Exoplanets by Direct Imaging
Robert A. Brown
We use , the number of exoplanets observed in time , as a science metric to study direct-search missions like Terrestrial Planet Finder. In our model, has 27 paramete…
Density Estimation for Projected Exoplanet Quantities
Robert A. Brown
Exoplanet searches using radial velocity (RV) and microlensing (ML) produce samples of "projected" mass and orbital radius, respectively. We present a new method for estimating the…
The Lyot Project Direct Imaging Survey of Substellar Companions: Statistical Analysis and Information from Nondetections
Jérémy leconte, Rémi Soummer, Sasha Hinkley +14
The Lyot project used an optimized Lyot coronagraph with Extreme Adaptive Optics at the 3.63m Advanced Electro-Optical System telescope (AEOS) to observe 86 stars from 2004 to 2007…
