Erratum: ``A Dedicated M Dwarf Planet Search Using the Hobby-Eberly Telescope'' (AJ, 126, 3099 [2003])
Abstract
Shortly after publication of our paper, we found an error in the coordinate entry for GJ 864 that introduced a systematic error into the correction to the barycenter of the solar system. After correction of this mistake, we found a much smaller linear radial velocity trend of -32.3+/-2.4 m s-1 yr-1 (χ2red=0.97, dof=25). The classification of GJ 864 as a radial-velocity-constant star using the less precise CORAVEL data by Tokovinin (1992) is correct, considering the now much shallower trend. The companion causing this linear trend probably has a period far exceeding our 999 days of monitoring.
