RV and orbital distance of HD 80606 b for the six data points acquired, overplotted on the orbit derived from the parameters and ephemerides of Hébrard et al. (2010). The upper plot shows the variation in RV as a function of baricentric Julian date, and the lower plots represent the orbital distance of the companion when close to apastron (left) and periastron (right). The dashed lines represent the apastron and periastron distance, for visual reference.
