A seriously impressive paper by Thompson+ on the “Revised Mass and Orbit of ε Eridani b: A 1 Jupiter-Mass Planet on a Near-Circular Orbit”. They’ve combined RV, direct imaging and absolute astrometry to revise the planet to ~1 M_Jup and e~0 - close to being a Solar System analogue. 🔭🪐 #astrodon

Twelve panels showing the past and future predicted positions of E Eridani b as coloured lasso hoops all lying roughly on top of one another, showing that the different detection methods agree with each other.A plot showing the probable mass of the planet versus the inclination of its orbit. There's a nice tight grouping superimposed on a weak horseshoe shaped cloud of possible points.
