Biases in Orbital Fitting of Directly Imaged Exoplanets with Small Orbital Coverage

The eccentricity of a planet’s orbit and the inclination of its orbital plane encode important information about its formation and history. However, exoplanets detected via direct imaging are often only observed over a very small fraction of their period, making it challenging to perform reliable ph...
