12 May 2012/ From TTVs, the upper mass limit for a potential moon is 0.021M_Pl (Nesvorny et al. 2012).
The upper mass limit 6M _Jup is inferred from stability condition of the multiplanet system (Nesvorny et al. 2012).
The inclination, i, is defined relative to the reference plane that is 90° tilted to the sky plane, and rotated so that Ω_b = 270° (all longitudes measured relative to the line of sight; hereafter transit reference system). The orbital inclination of KOI-872.01 relative to the transit plane is i_b = 0.97°, as determined from the transit fit.
