Notes. For a given range of orbital periods (expressed in days) and a given value of the primary mass, the table yields the fraction of systems (in % of the population of systems within this interval of periods) that would display ΔRV = maxRV(φi) − minRV(φi) < 20 km s-1, hence escape detection. The total numbers of simulated systems in each of the period intervals are 34198, 25802, 4786, 6315, and 4772 for the intervals I, II, III, IV, and V, respectively.
