Why do we say that the Doppler technique gives the planet's "minimum mass"?
A) The size of the Doppler shift that we detect depends on whether the planet's orbit is tilted.

D) Doppler measurements are very difficult, producing noisy data that often cause astronomers to underestimate a planet's mass.
