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

      Wittenmyer, Robert A.; Horner, J.; Tuomi, Mikko; Salter, G. S.; Tinney, C.G.; Butler, R. P.; Jones, H.R.A.; O'Toole, S. J.; Bailey, J.; Carter, B. D.; Jenkins, J. S.; Zhang, Z.; Vogt, S. S.; Rivera, Eugenio J. (2012-07-10)
      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 = ...

    • 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 

      Wittenmyer, Robert A.; Wang, Songhu; Horner, Jonathan; Tinney, C.G.; Butler, R. P.; Jones, H.R.A.; O'Toole, S. J.; Bailey, J.; Carter, B. D.; Salter, G. S.; Wright, D.; Zhou, Ji-Lin (2013-09)
      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 ...

    • GJ 832c : A super-earth in the habitable zone 

      Wittenmyer, Robert A.; Tuomi, Mikko; Butler, R. P.; Jones, Hugh; Anglada-Escudé, Guillem; Horner, Jonathan; Tinney, C. G.; Marshall, J. P.; Carter, B. D.; Bailey, J.; Salter, G. S.; O'Toole, S. J.; Wright, D.; Crane, J. D.; Schectman, S. A.; Arriagada, P.; Thompson, I.; Minniti, D.; Jenkins, J. S.; Diaz, M. (2014-08-05)
      We report the detection of GJ 832c, a super-Earth orbiting near the inner edge of the habitable zone of GJ 832, an M dwarf previously known to host a Jupiter analog in a nearly circular 9.4 yr orbit. The combination of ...

    • Observing Strategies for the Detection of Jupiter Analogs 

      Wittenmyer, Robert A.; Tinney, C.G.; Horner, J.; Butler, R. P.; Jones, H.R.A.; O'Toole, Simon J.; Bailey, J.; Carter, Brad D.; Salter, G. S.; Wright, D. (2013-04)
      To understand the frequency, and thus the formation and evolution, of planetary systems like our own solar system, it is critical to detect Jupiter-like planets in Jupiter-like orbits. For long-term radial-velocity monitoring, ...

    • Signals embedded in the radial velocity noise: Periodic variations in the tau Ceti velocities 

      Tuomi, Mikko; Jones, H.R.A.; Jenkins, James Stewart; Tinney, C.G.; Butler, R.P.; Vogt, Steven S.; Barnes, John; Wittenmyer, Robert A.; O'Toole, S.; Horner, J.; Bailey, J.; Carter, B.D.; Wright, D. J.; Salter, G. S.; Pinfield, D.J. (2013-03)
      Context. The abilities of radial velocity exoplanet surveys to detect the lowest-mass extra-solar planets are currently limited by a combination of instrument precision, lack of data, and “jitter”. Jitter is a general term ...
