A substellar object with a minimum mass of 1.6 MJ and orbital separation of roughly 6.5 AU was within the parameters of the highly approximate data.
[8] A longer study of radial velocity, using the HARPS echelle spectrometer, to follow up on Endl's findings, was published in a paper by M. Zechmeister et al. in 2013.
[9] This refined the radial-velocity trend observed and indicated a planetary companion with an orbital period greater than 30 years and a minimum mass of 0.97 MJ.
[9] In March 2018, a preprint was posted to arXiv that confirmed the existence of Epsilon Indi Ab using radial velocity measurements.
[1] In December 2019, the confirmation of this planet, along with updated parameters from both radial velocity and astrometry, was published by Fabo Feng et al. in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
[14] The new orbital parameters were calculated with archived radial velocity data, the Hipparcos-Gaia astrometry of the host star and the position of the planet from the images.
[3] The temperature of 275 K is slightly warmer or similar to the nearby Y-dwarf WISE J0855−0714 (225 to 260 K or 285 K), making Epsilon Indi Ab likely one of the coldest objects to be directly imaged outside the solar system.
