Interesting point there David.
I think all the mass, resulting in the eccentric orbits, is assumed to be concentrated in, and distributed between, the binary pairs.
And yet, wobble in the stars is used to deduce the presence of exoplanets, eh ?
Hmmm .. interesting … good point.
Perhaps exoplanet mass could be assumed to be in the 1% error, which is still unaccounted for (?)
