Scientific paper

A Bayesian multi-planet Kepler periodogram has been developed for the analysis of precision radial velocity data (Gregory, Ap. J., 631, 1198, 2005). The periodogram employs a parallel tempering Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm with a novel statistical control system. Examples of its use will be presented, including a re-analysis of data for HD 208487 (Gregory, 2005b, astro-ph/0509412) for which we find strong evidence for a second planet with a period of 998-62+57 days, an eccentricity of 0.19-0.18+0.05, and an M sin i = 0.46-0.13+0.05 MJ. This research was supported in part by a grant from the Canadian Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada at the University of British Columbia.
