Abstract

Radial velocity surveys suggest a low frequency (<20%) of Jupiter-like planets around solar-type stars. However, the β Pic Moving Group (BPMG), a nearby young stellar association, shows a much higher frequency. Analysis of 30 BPMG stars reveals that 20 could potentially host stable Jupiter-like planets. Considering observational incompleteness, the results suggest Jupiter-like planets are more common than previously thought. Future Gaia data releases will likely confirm this prediction.
