- Jones’s involvement with GJ887 started from 1998 in his role as co-PI of the Anglo-Australian Planet Search when he ensured that nearby red dwarfs were included and observed frequently. GJ887 was always a key target since it always showed more variability than noise. An earlier manuscript by Tuomi, Jones et al. was rejected because the referee could not reproduce the signals with a "Generalized Lomb-Scargle periodogram". Jones nurtured this target for two decades and with funding from the Leverhulme Foundation gave Anglada-Escude the time to setup RedDots which took the final dataset to ensure publication of this complex signal.
