Expected multiplicity ratio (﹩\left\langle {f}_{\gt 1}/{f}_{1}\right\rangle ﹩ in Equation (2)) for different inclination dispersions drawn from a Fischer distribution and periods of outer nearest neighbor. The left panel shows that the inner planet is a USP planet (Pinner < 1 day). In the right panel, we set ﹩{P}_{\mathrm{inner}}\in [1,2]﹩ days. The inner planets are assumed to have one extra outer companion in the indicated period range. The shaded region indicates the observed ratio with Poisson error for our sample with Ms > 0.75 M, showing that the outer companions of USP planets are likely beyond ∼10 days.
