Astrometric Constraints on the Masses of Long-period Gas Giant Planets in the TRAPPIST-1 Planetary System
Alan P. Boss,Alycia J. Weinberger,Sandra A. Keiser,Tri L. Astraatmadja,Guillem Anglada-Escudé,Ian B. Thompson +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined 15 epochs of CAPSCam observations of TRAPPIST-1, spanning the five years from 2011 to 2016, and obtained a revised trigonometric distance of 12.56 ± 0.12 pc.
