Subsequently, Heintz (1996, page 411) suggested that such a companion to Star Ba would have to have a mass of at least half Sol's to reach detectable brightness, and that, among other orbital requirements, Bc's period would have to be less than an Earth year in order to account for the absence of effects on Ba's radial velocities and positions.
On the other, the Hipparcos Space Astrometry Mission (1989 - 93) failed to detect significant astrometic motion resulting from a major close companion as small as 0.5 Solar - mass between 11 AUs (one arcsecond) and 0.35 AU of the star (Akeson et al, 2009).
