Now, a team of astronomers has reexamined the system by re-mining existing European Southern Observatory's
HARPS data and combining it with data collected from the W. M. Keck Observatory and the Magellan Telescope to find evidence for up to seven planets around the star.
While
the HARPS data has been available since 2006, the team re-examined the data using a set of algorithms called HARPS - TERRA developed by the paper's lead - author Guillem Anglada - Escudé of the University of Göttingen, and Paul Butler of the Carnegie Institute for Science.
