What are some freeware options for fitting radial velocity data?

AI Thread Summary
Freeware options for fitting radial velocity data include Systemic Console, available at www.oklo.org, which is supported by a collaborative community focused on finding optimal fits for various systems. Users express interest in programming their own solutions, with offers to provide guidance on creating a program that generates compatible data for visualization in Gnuplot. There is a desire for additional resources or write-ups to assist those with limited programming skills in developing such tools. The discussion highlights the need for accessible software solutions in the field of radial velocity analysis. Overall, the community is eager to share knowledge and resources for fitting Keplerian models to data.

Hi all,
I am attempting to find the best Keplerian fit to the Radial velocity data vs. Time such as this plot: http://austral.as.utexas.edu/planets/hd37605/hd37605.html
I was wondering whether anyone could suggest some freeware that might be able to help me out. Any information would be helpful.
If at all possible, suggestions for freeware that runs in windows would be awesome!

Do you have any interest in programming? If so, I could show you how to program such a beast yourself, so that it generates data that can be used to draw a similar graph in Gnuplot.
 
Sorry for bringing up the old post but...

NoobixCube:

There is a program called Systemic Console that can be obtained @ www.oklo.org. There is a whole group of people that collaborate to find the best fits for a wide range of systems. And best of all, everything is free.

I would be interested if you could provide some sort of basic writeup of what would be needed to write such a program. I have been somewhat interested in programing for a while (although my skills are still extremely limited) and that sounds like it would be a very interesting/educational project.

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
