Sources of uncertainty in Sources of uncertainty in parameter fits:parameter fits:

the unknown value of the orbital line-of-sight inclination the unknown value of the orbital line-of-sight inclination i i allows us to determine from radial velocities measurements allows us to determine from radial velocities measurements only the lower limit of planetary masses;only the lower limit of planetary masses;

the relative inclination the relative inclination iirr between planetary orbital planes between planetary orbital planes is usually unknown. is usually unknown.

In most of the mulitple-planet systems, the strong In most of the mulitple-planet systems, the strong dynamical interactions between planets makes planetary dynamical interactions between planets makes planetary orbital parameters found – using standard two-body orbital parameters found – using standard two-body keplerian fits – unreliable (cf. Eric Bois)keplerian fits – unreliable (cf. Eric Bois)
