 Context examples: 

From very early on, the Doppler measurements for Teegarden’s Star showed the presence of at least two signals, now identified as the two new exoplanets called Teegarden b and c. In order to ensure the detection was reliable, with a new instrument, over 200 measurements needed to be made.
