Nii: a Bayesian orbit retrieval code applied to differential astrometry
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society(2021)
摘要
Here, we present an open source PYTHON-based Bayesian orbit retrieval code (Nii) that implements an automatic parallel tempering Markov chain Monte Carlo (APT-MCMC) strategy. Nii provides a module to simulate the observations of a space-based astrometry mission in the search for exoplanets, a signal extraction process for differential astrometric measurements using multiple reference stars, and an orbital parameter retrieval framework using APT-MCMC. We further verify the orbit retrieval ability of the code through two examples corresponding to a single-planet system and a dual-planet system. In both cases, efficient convergence on the posterior probability distribution can be achieved. Although this code specifically focuses on the orbital parameter retrieval problem of differential astrometry, Nii can also be widely used in other Bayesian analysis applications.
