Scientific paper

In the present work we will determine the orbital inclination of HD136118b with Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guindance Sensor measurements, while at the the same time refining the orbital fit with additional high-candence radial velocity measurements from the HRS at the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. By determining the orbital inclination we are able to establish the actual mass of the companion which is a critical parameter to decide whether this body lies in the planetary or brown dwarf regime.
