A Bayesian analysis of 47 Ursae Majoris (47 UMa) radial velocity data confirms and refines the properties of two previously reported planets with periods of 1079 and 2325 days. The analysis also provides orbital constraints on an additional long period planet with a period � 10000 days. The three planet model is found to be 10 5 times more probable than the next most probable model which is a two planet model. The nonlinear model fitting is accomplished with a new hybrid Markov chain Monte… Expand

Bayesian evidence for two companions orbiting HIP 5158
We present results of a Bayesian analysis of radial velocity data for the star HIP 5158, confirming the presence of two companions and also constraining their orbital parameters. Assuming Keplerian… Expand
A fourth planet orbiting υ Andromedae
We present a 4-planet Keplerian fit for the radial velocity curve of the F8V star υ Andromeda, indicating the presence of a fourth planet in the system. We detect an additional fifth coherent signal… Expand
Bayesian re-analysis of the Gliese 581 exoplanet system
A re-analysis of Gliese 581 HARPS and HIRES precision radial velocity data was carried out with a Bayesian multiplanet Kepler periodogram (from one to six planets) based on a fusion Markov chain… Expand
Detecting extrasolar planets from stellar radial velocities using Bayesian evidence
Stellar radial velocity (RV) measurements have proven to be a very successful method for detecting extrasolar planets. Analysing RV data to determine the parameters of the extrasolar planets is a… Expand

Radial Velocity Discovery of an Eccentric Jovian World Orbiting at 18 au
Based on two decades of radial velocity (RV) observations using Keck/HIRES and McDonald/Tull, and more recent observations using the Automated Planet Finder, we found that the nearby star HR 5183 (HD… Expand
