Continued radial velocity (RV) monitoring of the nearby M4V red dwarf star GJ 876 with Keck/High Resolution Echelle Spectrograph has revealed the presence of a Uranus-mass fourth planetary companion in the system. The new planet has a mean period of Pe = 126.6 days (over the 12.6-year baseline of the RV observations), and a minimum mass of mesin ie = 12.9 ± 1.7 M⊕. The detection of the new planet has been enabled by significant improvements to our RV data set for GJ 876. The data have been…
