We expand on the results of Nielsen et al. (2008), using the null result forgiant extrasolar planets around the 118 target stars from the VLT NACO H and Ksband planet search (Masciadri et al. 2005), the VLT and MMT SimultaneousDifferential Imaging (SDI) survey (Biller et al. 2007), and the Gemini DeepPlanet Survey (Lafreniere et al. 2007) to set constraints on the population ofgiant extrasolar planets. Our analysis is extended to include the planetluminosity models of Fortney et al. (2008), as well as the correlation betweenstellar mass and frequency of giant planets found by Johnson et al. (2007).Doubling the sample size of FGKM stars strengthens our conclusions: a model forextrasolar giant planets with power-laws for mass and semi-major axis as givingby Cumming et al. (2008) cannot, with 95% confidence, have planets beyond 65AU, compared to the value of 94 AU reported in Nielsen et al. (2008), using themodels of Baraffe et al. (2003). When the Johnson et al. (2007) correction forstellar mass (which gives fewer Jupiter-mass companions to M stars with respectto solar-type stars) is applied, however, this limit moves out to 82 AU. Forthe relatively new Fortney et al. (2008) models, which predict fainter planetsacross most of parameter space, these upper limits, with and without acorrection for stellar mass, are 182 and 234 AU, respectively.
