Criteria for Spectroscopic Detections
The planet candidates listed in the above table all have M sini < 10 MJup and have been published in or submitted to a refereed journal.
Other Companions Discovered by Doppler Spectroscopy
These objects have 10 MJup < M sini < 15 MJup and are more likely to be brown dwarfs than planets.
