But other observations need to confirm the true planetary nature of these candidate events, because the observed dips may also be due to an eclipsing binary star in the background whose light blends with the foreground star studied by Kepler.
Characterizing K2 Candidate Planetary Systems Orbiting Low - Mass Stars I: Classifying Low - mass Host Stars Observed During Campaigns 1 - 7
Since a planet's radius and equilibrium temperature depends on the parameters of its host star, our study provides more precise planetary parameters for planets and candidates orbiting late - type stars observed with K2.
The 16 planetary candidates have estimated diameters within range of being super-Earths (1.26 to 2.0 times Earth's diameter), given error margins ranging from 25 to 35 percent due to the uncertainty in the size of their host star and of the «depth» of the observed transits (decrease in stellar luminosity) across the surface of the star.
