CPS team member Sarah Blunt recently led a paper documenting orbitize!, an open-source software package for fitting the orbits of directly imaged planets. One of the perks of directly imaging exoplanets is that we can directly watch them moving along their orbits. However, only the most widely-separated exoplanets can be seen over the glares of their primary stars. These wide separations translate to orbital periods that take decades or longer,…
