RV-detected Kepler-multi Analogs Exhibit Intra-system Mass Uniformity

Earth and Planetary Astrophysics 2017-11-20 v1

Abstract

Recent work has shown that the planets in the KeplerKepler Mission's population of multi-transiting systems show surprising uniformity in both mass and radius. In this brief note, I show that this intra-system mass uniformity extends to multiple-planet systems detected with the Doppler velocity technique, thereby avoiding possible biases associated with masses determined by transit timing. I also show that intra-system mass uniformity breaks down when a system contains one or more giant planets.
