Beginning of ReadMe : J/A+A/527/A140 Mass limits on substellar companions (Reffert+, 2011) ================================================================================ Mass constraints on substellar companion candidates from the re-reduced Hipparcos intermediate astrometric data: nine confirmed planets and two confirmed brown dwarfs. Reffert S., Quirrenbach A. <Astron. Astrophys., 527, A140 (2011)> =2011A&A...527A.140R ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Stars, double and multiple ; Planets ; Stars, masses Keywords: astrometry - binaries: spectroscopic - planetary systems - brown dwarfs Abstract: The recently completed re-reduction of the Hipparcos data by van Leeuwen (2007, Astrophys. Space Library 350) makes it possible to search for the astrometric signatures of planets and brown dwarfs known from radial velocity surveys in the improved Hipparcos intermediate astrometric data. Our aim is to put more significant constraints on the orbital parameters which cannot be derived from radial velocities alone, i.e. the inclination and the longitude of the ascending node, than was possible before. The determination of the inclination in particular allows to calculate an unambiguous companion mass, rather than the lower mass limit which can be obtained from radial velocity measurements. Description: We fitted the astrometric orbits of 310 substellar companions around 258 stars, which were all discovered via the radial velocity method, to the Hipparcos intermediate astrometric data provided by van Leeuwen (2007, Astrophys. Space Library 350).
