Multi-planet systems around evolved stars are of interest to trace the evolution of planetary systems into the post-main sequence phase. HD 47366, an evolved intermediate mass star, hosts two giant planets on moderately eccentric orbits. Previous analysis of the planetary system has revealed that it is dynamically unstable on timescales much shorter than the stellar age unless the planets are trapped in mutual 2:1 mean motion resonance, inconsistent with the orbital solution presented in cite{2016Sato} (hereafter: S16), or are moving on mutually retrograde orbits. Here we examine the orbital stability of the system presented in S16 using the $n$-body code {sc Mercury} over a broad range of $a$--$e$ parameter space consistent with the observed radial velocities, assuming they are on co-planar orbits. Our analysis confirms that the system as proposed in S16 is not dynamically stable. We therefore undertake a thorough re-analysis of the available observational data for the HD 47366 system, through the Levenberg-Marquardt technique and confirmed by MCMC Bayesian methodology. Our re-analysis reveals an alternative, lower eccentricity fit that is vastly preferred over the highly eccentric orbital solution obtained from the nominal best-fit presented in S16. The new, improved dynamical simulation solution reveals the reduced eccentricity of the planetary orbits, shifting the HD 47366 system into the edge of a broad stability region, increasing our confidence that the planets are all that they seem to be. Our rigorous examination of the dynamical stability of HD 47366 stands as a cautionary tale in finding the global best-fit model.

We present an updated analysis of radial velocity data of the HD 82943 planetary system based on 10 years of measurements obtained with the Keck telescope. Previous studies have shown that the HD 82943 system has two planets that are likely in 2:1 me
an-motion resonance (MMR), with the orbital periods about 220 and 440 days (Lee et al. 2006). However, alternative fits that are qualitatively different have also been suggested, with two planets in a 1:1 resonance (Gozdziewski & Konacki 2006) or three planets in a Laplace 4:2:1 resonance (Beauge et al. 2008). Here we use c{hi}2 minimization combined with parameter grid search to investigate the orbital parameters and dynamical states of the qualitatively different types of fits, and we compare the results to those obtained with the differential evolution Markov chain Monte Carlo method. Our results support the coplanar 2:1 MMR configuration for the HD 82943 system, and show no evidence for either the 1:1 or 3-planet Laplace resonance fits. The inclination of the system with respect to the sky plane is well constrained at about 20(+4.9 -5.5) degree, and the system contains two planets with masses of about 4.78 MJ and 4.80 MJ (where MJ is the mass of Jupiter) and orbital periods of about 219 and 442 days for the inner and outer planet, respectively. The best fit is dynamically stable with both eccentricity-type resonant angles {theta}1 and {theta}2 librating around 0 degree.
The hot Jupiter HD 217107 b was one of the first exoplanets detected using the radial velocity (RV) method, originally reported in the literature in 1999. Today, precise RV measurements of this system span more than 20 years, and there is clear evide
nce for a longer-period companion, HD 217107 c. Interestingly, both the short-period planet ($P_mathrm{b}sim7.13$ d) and long-period planet ($P_mathrm{c}sim5059$ d) have significantly eccentric orbits ($e_mathrm{b}sim0.13$ and $e_mathrm{c}sim0.40$). We present 42 additional RV measurements of this system obtained with the MINERVA telescope array and carry out a joint analysis with previously published RV measurements from four different facilities. We confirm and refine the previously reported orbit of the long-period companion. HD 217107 b is one of a relatively small number of hot Jupiters with an eccentric orbit, opening up the possibility of detecting precession of the planetary orbit due to General Relativistic effects and perturbations from other planets in the system. In this case, the argument of periastron, $omega$, is predicted to change at the level of $sim$0.8$^circ$ century$^{-1}$. Despite the long time baseline of our observations and the high quality of the RV measurements, we are only able to constrain the precession to be $dot{omega}<65.9^circ$ century$^{-1}$. We discuss the limitations of detecting the subtle effects of precession in exoplanet orbits using RV data.
HD 21749 is a bright ($V=8.1$ mag) K dwarf at 16 pc known to host an inner terrestrial planet HD 21749c as well as an outer sub-Neptune HD 21749b, both delivered by TESS. Follow-up spectroscopic observations measured the mass of HD 21749b to be $22.7
pm2.2 M_{oplus}$ with a density of $7.0^{+1.6}_{-1.3}$ g~cm$^{-3}$, making it one of the densest sub-Neptunes. However, the mass measurement was suspected to be influenced by stellar rotation. Here we present new high-cadence PFS RV data to disentangle the stellar activity signal from the planetary signal. We find that HD 21749 has a similar rotational timescale as the planets orbital period, and the amplitude of the planetary orbital RV signal is estimated to be similar to that of the stellar activity signal. We perform Gaussian Process (GP) regression on the photometry and RVs from HARPS and PFS to model the stellar activity signal. Our new models reveal that HD 21749b has a radius of $2.86pm0.20 R_{oplus}$, an orbital period of $35.6133pm0.0005$ d with a mass of $M_{b}=20.0pm2.7 M_{oplus}$ and a density of $4.8^{+2.0}_{-1.4}$ g~cm$^{-3}$ on an eccentric orbit with $e=0.16pm0.06$, which is consistent with the most recent values published for this system. HD 21749c has an orbital period of $7.7902pm0.0006$ d, a radius of $1.13pm0.10 R_{oplus}$, and a 3$sigma$ mass upper limit of $3.5 M_{oplus}$. Our Monte Carlo simulations confirm that without properly taking stellar activity signals into account, the mass measurement of HD 21749b is likely to arrive at a significantly underestimated error bar.
The HD,196885 system is composed of a binary star and a planet orbiting the primary. The orbit of the binary is fully constrained by astrometry, but for the planet the inclination with respect to the plane of the sky and the longitude of the node are
unknown. Here we perform a full analysis of the HD,196885 system by exploring the two free parameters of the planet and choosing different sets of angular variables. We find that the most likely configurations for the planet is either nearly coplanar orbits (prograde and retrograde), or highly inclined orbits near the Lidov-Kozai equilibrium points, i = 44^{circ} or i = 137^{circ} . Among coplanar orbits, the retrograde ones appear to be less chaotic, while for the orbits near the Lidov-Kozai equilibria, those around omega= 270^{circ} are more reliable, where omega_k is the argument of pericenter of the planets orbit with respect to the binarys orbit. From the observers point of view (plane of the sky) stable areas are restricted to (I1, Omega_1) sim (65^{circ}, 80^{circ}), (65^{circ},260^{circ}), (115^{circ},80^{circ}), and (115^{circ},260^{circ}), where I1 is the inclination of the planet and Omega_1 is the longitude of ascending node.
We present six years of new radial-velocity data from the Anglo-Australian and Magellan Telescopes on the HD 73526 2:1 resonant planetary system. We investigate both Keplerian and dynamical (interacting) fits to these data, yielding four possible con
figurations for the system. The new data now show that both resonance angles are librating, with amplitudes of 40 degrees and 60 degrees, respectively. We then perform long-term dynamical stability tests to differentiate these solutions, which only differ significantly in the masses of the planets. We show that while there is no clearly preferred system inclination, the dynamical fit with i=90 degrees provides the best combination of goodness-of-fit and long-term dynamical stability.
