Best-fit system in each modeling scenario compared to the true TRAPPIST-1 system using only Filippazzo et al. (2015) priors. The symbol size corresponds to the planet size, and the color indicates albedo. Horizontal bars indicate the uncertainty on a planet’s semi-major axis. Each modeling scenario is labeled with the number of planets included, the computed evidence, and its significance against the best-fit model. We use transparency to demonstrate which models are ruled out by > 3σ confidence. The vertical dashed lines indicate the limits of our semi-major axis bounds. -- astro-ph.EP

On the Effectiveness of the Planetary Infrared Excess (PIE) Technique to Retrieve the Parameters of Multiplanet Systems around M dwarfs: A Case Study on the TRAPPIST-1 System

by Keith CowingOctober 1, 2023October 1, 2023

The planetary infrared excess (PIE) technique has the potential to efficiently detect and characterize the thermal spectra of both transiting and non-transiting exoplanets. However, the technique has not been evaluated […]
