Table A.1
Inputs of the KOBEsim code: obs (or obs_n), star, and file are mandatory.
| Symbol | Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| obs | Observatory coordinates | - | Observatory coordinates (deg) and altitude (m) |
| obs_n | Observatory name | - | Observatory name to obtain the coordinates |
| star | Star name | - | To search for its coordinates with SIMBAD (Ginsburg et al. 2019) |
| file | RV data file | - | FITS or ascii format with columns: JD, RV and ∆RV (ms−1) |
| sch | Schedule | None | Ascii file with the program asigned JD. If None, all dates are considered |
| P | Period | GLS periodogram peak | Proposed period (d) to be targeted with KOBEsim |
| t0 | Inferior conjunction time | None | If provided, it is used as prior in the MCMC inference |
| minalt | Minimum altitude | 20 deg | Minimum altitude (deg) constraint to observe the target |
| texp | Exposure time | 700 s | Exposure time (s) for the target |
| Nph | Number of sub-phases | 20 | Number of splits of the orbital phase (Nphases) |
| beta | Beta distribution | True | To reduce the time between observations through a beta distribution |
| ab | Beta parameters | a = 1, b = 5 | Parameters of the beta distribution, β(a, b) |
| wh | Pre-whitening | False | To substract a linear and a quadratic contribution in the RV data |
| max_da | Maximum days apart | 90d | Maximum days apart to search for the next optimum observing date |
| n | Number of steps | 20000 | Number of steps per walker for the emcee warm-up phase |
| nw | Multiple number of walkers | 4 | Multiple of the number of parameters for the number of walkers |
