An analysis of the perturbations on Barnard's Star
Abstract
A Maximum Entropy Method spectral analysis of van de Kamp's data on the perturbation motions of Barnard's Star suggests that several planets may be in orbit about it. The preferred interpretation requires planets with 26-, 11- 3.8-, 2.9-, and 2.4-year orbital periods having masses ranging from 0.7 to 1.6 times the mass of Jupiter. The interpretation is based upon probability and likelihood arguments.
