      We report the discovery of a second long-period giant planet orbiting HD 30177, a star previously known to host a massive Jupiter analog (HD 30177b: a=3.8$\pm$0.1 au, m sin $i=9.7\pm$0.5 Mjup). HD 30177c can be regarded ...

    • The Anglo-Australian planet search. XXII : Two new multi-planet systems

      We report the detection of two new planets from the Anglo-Australian Planet Search. These planets orbit two stars each previously known to host one planet. The new planet orbiting HD 142 has a period of 6005 +/- 427 days, ...

    • The Anglo-Australian planet search. XXIII. Two new jupiter analogs 

      Wittenmyer, Robert A.; Horner, Jonathan; Tinney, C. G.; Butler, R. P.; Jones, H. R A; Salter, G. S.; Carter, B. D.; Koch, F. Elliott; O'Toole, S. J.; Bailey, J.; Wright, D.; Tuomi, Mikko (2014-03-10)
      We report the discovery of two long-period giant planets from the Anglo-Australian Planet Search. HD 154857c is in a multiple-planet system, while HD 114613b appears to be solitary. HD 114613b has an orbital period P = ...

    • Cool Jupiters greatly outnumber their toasty siblings : Occurrence rates from the Anglo-Australian Planet Search 

      Wittenmyer, Robert A.; Wang, Songhu; Horner, Jonathan; Butler, R. P.; Tinney, C. G.; Carter, B. D.; Wright, D. J.; Jones, H. R. A.; Bailey, J.; O'Toole, S. J.; Johns, Daniel (2020-02-01)
      Our understanding of planetary systems different to our own has grown dramatically in the past 30 yr. However, our efforts to ascertain the degree to which the Solar system is abnormal or unique have been hindered by the ...

    • A detailed analysis of the HD 73526 2:1 resonant planetary system 

      Wittenmyer, Robert A.; Tan, Xianyu; Lee, Man Hoi; Horner, Jonathan; Tinney, C.G.; Butler, R. P.; Salter, G. S.; Carter, B. D.; Jones, H.R.A.; O'Toole, S. J.; Bailey, J.; Wright, D.; Crane, J. D.; Schectman, S. A.; Arriagada, P.; Thompson, I.; Minniti, D.; Diaz, M. (2014-01-10)
      We present six years of new radial velocity data from the Anglo-Australian and Magellan Telescopes on the HD 73526 2:1 resonant planetary system. We investigate both Keplerian and dynamical ( interacting) fits to these ...

    • Forever alone? : Testing single eccentric planetary systems for multiple companions

      Determining the orbital eccentricity of an extrasolar planet is critically important for understanding the system's dynamical environment and history. However, eccentricity is often poorly determined or entirely mischaracterized ...

    • The frequency of low-mass exoplanets III. Toward eta-Earth at short periods 

      Wittenmyer, Robert A.; Tinney, C. G.; Butler, R. P.; O'Toole, Simon J.; Jones, H.R.A.; Carter, B. D.; Bailey, J.; Horner, J. (2011-09)
      Determining the occurrence rate of "super-Earth" planets (m sin i < 10 M ) is a critically important step on the path toward determining the frequency of Earth-like planets (η), and hence the uniqueness of our solar system. ...
