Abstract (from CDS):

We present the results of the Distant Giants Survey, a 3 yr radial velocity (RV) campaign to search for wide-separation giant planets orbiting Sun-like stars known to host an inner transiting planet. We defined a distant giant (DG) to have a = 1-10 au and ${M}_{p}\sin i=$ 70-4000 M⊕ = 0.2-12.5 MJ, and required transiting planets to have a < 1 au and Rp = 1-4 R⊕. We assembled our sample of 47 stars using a single selection function and observed each star at monthly intervals to obtain ≈30 RV observations per target. The final catalog includes a total of 12 distant companions: four giant planets detected during our survey, two previously known giant planets, and six objects of uncertain disposition identified through RV/astrometric accelerations. Statistically, half of the uncertain objects are planets and the remainder are stars/brown dwarfs. We calculated target-by-target completeness maps to account for missed planets. We found evidence for a moderate enhancement of DGs in the presence of close-in small planets (CSs), P(DG∣CS) = ${31}_{-11}^{+12}$%, over the field rate of P(DG) = $1{6}_{-2}^{+2} \% $. No enhancement is disfavored (p ∼ 8%). In contrast to a previous study, we found no evidence that stellar metallicity raises the enhancement of P(DG∣CS) over P(DG). We found evidence that DG companions preferentially accompany shorter-period CS planets and have lower eccentricities than randomly selected giant planets. This points toward a nuanced picture of dynamically cool formation in which giants interact with, but do not disrupt, their inner systems.
