Measurement of the collinearity between planets in circular orbits and the α_j (t) basis for HD 10700. The simulations are made of 18 different phases and 15 000 different periods. The envelope describes the 1-sigma dispersion obtained from the different phases for the same period. The injected planets are marked by vertical lines. A typical decrease of 2 ± 1 and 7 ± 4% can be expected for the 37-day and 122-day planets, respectively. Those results are coherent with the ~ 2 m s⁻¹ and ~ 2.85 m s⁻¹ planetary signals recovered, while the original signals injected for those planets was 2 and 3 m s⁻¹, respectively.
