Planet multiplicities in Sun-like star systems were studied using a general method that considered survey incompleteness. The results showed that about 21% of Sun-like stars had planets with masses above 10 M (circle plus) (0.3 M (J)), with around 30% of them being multiplanet systems. The study also found that about 33% of Sun-like stars contained planets with a radial velocity semi-amplitude K greater than 1 m s(-1) (3 m s(-1)), and each system hosted an average of 1.8 planets. Furthermore, the hot Jupiter rate in the surveyed sample was higher than the consensus value by a factor of about three, and a correlation between inner and outer planets was confirmed.
Planet multiplicities are useful in constraining the formation and evolution of planetary systems, but they are usually difficult to constrain observationally. Here, we develop a general method that can properly take into account the survey incompleteness and recover the intrinsic planet multiplicity distribution. We then apply it to the radial velocity (RV) planet sample from the California Legacy Survey (CLS). Within the 1 au (10 au) region, we find 21% +/- 4% (19.2% +/- 2.8%) of Sun-like stars host planets with masses above 10 M (circle plus) (0.3 M (J)), about 30% (40%) of which are multiplanet systems; in terms of the RV semi-amplitude K, 33% +/- 7% (25% +/- 3%) of Sun-like stars contain planets of K > 1 m s(-1) (3 m s(-1)), and each system hosts on average 1.8 +/- 0.4 (1.63 +/- 0.16) planets. We note that the hot Jupiter rate in the CLS Sun-like sample is higher than the consensus value of similar to 1% by a factor of about three. We also confirm previous studies on the correlation between inner ( <1 au) and outer ( >1 au) planets.
