The Doppler technique measures the reflex radial motion of a star induced by the presence of companions and is the most successful method to detect exoplanets. If several planets are present, their signals will appear combined in the radial motion of the star, leading to potential misinterpretations of the data. Specifically, two planets in 2:1 resonant orbits can mimic the signal of a single planet in an eccentric orbit. We quantify the implications of this statistical degeneracy for a representative sample of the reported single exoplanets with available datasets, finding that 1) around 35 percent of the published eccentric one-planet solutions are statistically indistinguishable from planetary systems in 2:1 orbital resonance, 2) another 40 percent cannot be statistically distinguished from a circular orbital solution and 3) planets with masses comparable to Earth could be hidden in known orbital solutions of eccentric super-Earths and Neptune mass planets.

Planetary-Mass Exosatellite Detected Around the Substellar Companion of a Star
Radial velocity measurements of the brown dwarf CD-35 2722 B reveal a strong 169-day periodic signal attributed to a ~0.74 Jupiter-mass satellite, with a weaker secondary signal possibly indicating a second satellite ...

The GAPS Programme with HARPS-N at TNG LXXVII. Occurrence rates of small close-in planets in the presence of cold Jupiters
Occurrence rates of hot/warm/cool Neptunes and Super-Earths around cold-Jupiter hosts are ~5–16%, higher when the outer giant leaves a stable inner zone, with no strong ISP–CJ correlation at average metallicity.

Understanding eccentric temperate giants: an in-depth study of the architecture and stellar obliquity of the TOI-2134 system
Updated analysis of TOI-2134 with new TESS sectors and spectra confirms an inner mini-Neptune and outer eccentric sub-Saturn, measures their masses and radii, and reports a 59 degree obliquity for the outer planet via...
