RadVel is an open source Python package for modeling Keplerian orbits in radial velocity (RV) time series. RadVel provides a convenient framework to fit RVs using maximum a posteriori optimization and to compute robust confidence intervals by sampling the posterior probability density via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). RadVel allows users to float or fix parameters, impose priors, and perform Bayesian model comparison. We have implemented realtime MCMC convergence tests to ensure adequate sampling of the posterior. RadVel can output a number of publication-quality plots and tables. Users may interface with RadVel through a convenient command-line interface or directly from Python. The code is object-oriented and thus naturally extensible. We encourage contributions from the community. Documentation is available at http://radvel.readthedocs.io.

  1. Discovery of an Inflated Hot Neptune and Its Formation from Jovian Mass Loss

    astro-ph.EP 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    TOI-2195 A b is an inflated hot Neptune that likely originated as a Jovian planet losing ~90% mass through Roche lobe overflow during EKL-driven high-eccentricity migration triggered by a wide binary companion.

  2. A Model Selection Criterion for Multidimensional Gaussian Processes: Application to Radial Velocities

    astro-ph.IM 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Introduces MGIC_rv, an information criterion that combines conditional RV likelihood with an effective parameter count for selecting multi-GP models focused on radial velocities.

  3. Gaia Exoplanet Orbits, Demographics, and Evolution Survey (GEODES): Characteristics of Three Long-Period Companions Accelerating their Host Stars

    astro-ph.EP 2026-05 conditional novelty 5.0

    Three accelerating stars yield one stellar companion at 166 AU, one 45 Jupiter-mass object at ~18 AU, and one 9.5 Jupiter-mass object at 6.4 AU that is 65% likely to be a planet.

  4. The Maximum Density of a Collisionally-Produced Planet is A Function of its Mass and Orbital Period

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Analysis of SPH simulations and collision velocity models predicts that collisionally-produced super-Mercuries have higher densities at low mass and short period, identifying GJ 367b as the strongest observed candidate.

  5. The mass of TOI-1883 b: A low density super-Neptune in the ridge regime transiting an early-M dwarf

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Mass of 13.7 Earth masses and density 0.4 g cm^{-3} measured for TOI-1883 b, a super-Neptune in the ridge regime around an early-M dwarf, with implications for disk migration and photoevaporation.

  6. The Pan-Pacific Planet Search -- IX. A menagerie of companions orbiting evolved stars

    astro-ph.EP 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Resolves six speculative companions into one giant planet, one eccentric brown dwarf, two low-mass stars, and two stars with no detectable companions.
