  • This paper presents a look at ongoing investigations into the strategies needed to characterize the orbits of observed exoplanets in an optimal manner. Also introduced is an efficient manner of the selection of possible orbits consistent with the observation of an exoplanet. Specifically, this work looks at the ability to conclude that a planet's orbit is resident in the habitable zone (HZ) on the basis of two sequential observations. The role of the range of possible semi-major axes is introduced.
