Scientific paper

Since 1999, RECONS (www.recons.org, REsearch Consortium On Nearby Stars) has been using astrometric techniques to search for massive planets orbiting 100 nearby stars. Unlike radial velocity searches, our astrometric effort is most sensitive to Jovian planets in Jovian orbits, i.e. those that span decades. To date, we have detected companion stars and brown dwarfs, as well as one enigmatic unseen companion that eludes direct detection, and are currently pushing into the realm of Jovian planets. As a result, we are now able to assess the population of companions orbiting the nearest stars.
