A Planet Candidate in the Stellar Triple System HD178911
S. Zucker, D. Naef, D. W. Latham +9
We report the detection of a low-mass companion orbiting the solar-type star HD178911B, the distant component of the stellar triple system HD178911. The variability of HD178911B wa…
Analysis of the Hipparcos Observations of the Extrasolar Planets and the Brown-Dwarf Candidates
Shay Zucker, Tsevi Mazeh
We analyzed the Hipparcos astrometric observations of 47 stars that were discovered to harbor giant planets and 14 stars with brown-dwarf secondary candidates. The Hipparcos measur…
Derivation of the Mass Distribution of Extrasolar Planets with MAXLIMA - a Maximum Likelihood Algorithm
Shay Zucker, Tsevi Mazeh
We construct a maximum-likelihood algorithm - MAXLIMA, to derive the mass distribution of the extrasolar planets when only the minimum masses are observed. The algorithm derives th…
On the Statistical Significance of the Hipparcos Astrometric Orbit of rho Coronae Borealis
Shay Zucker, Tsevi Mazeh
Recently Gatewood, Han & Black presented an analysis of the Hipparcos stellar positions and their own ground-based measurements of rho CrB, suggesting an astrometric orbit of 1.5 m…
