Pinning down the mass of Kepler-10c: the importance of sampling and model comparison
- Abstract:
-
Initial RV characterisation of the enigmatic planet Kepler-10c suggested a mass of $\sim17$ M$_\oplus$, which was remarkably high for a planet with radius $2.32$ R$_\oplus$; further observations and subsequent analysis hinted at a (possibly much) lower mass, but masses derived using RVs from two different spectrographs (HARPS-N and HIRES) were incompatible at a $3\sigma$-level. We demonstrate here how such mass discrepancies may readily arise from sub-optimal sampling and/or neglecting to mod...
