Bad Astronomy: some planets around Ross 128

They already have one Exoplanet orbiting the Star. The orbital period of 1.0 represents Ross 128b.










Star: Ross 128
*Mass                0.168
*Radius             0.1967
Temperature   3192K
Luminosity      0.00362 (0.00359873)

Planets        Period (days)    Semimajor Axis      Temperature by Albedo
                                                                                     Barren(0.3)       Cloudy(0.8)
Green            6.313856           0.036889AU             325K                   238K
Ross 128 b    9.8654                0.049672AU             280K                  205K
Violet            10.161362          0.050661AU             277K                  203K
Blue               13.81156           0.062163AU              250K                  183K
Red                 >19.7308           >0.078850AU       
Iceline ------------------------------- 0.16197AU

Note: Planet Red exerts a consistent group RV rise of +0.55msRV across total period. This is a Radial Velocity boost of +0.0000387156ms^-1. What does that even mean?
