The rule also suggested unoccupied but stable orbital slots in several systems discovered by Kepler, including two in the life - friendly zone around the star KOI - 490.

Not exact matches

At half the size of Earth, KOI - 961.03 is the smallest exoplanet yet found around a living star.

One of them, presently known only as KOI - 7235.01, looks to be only 15 percent larger than Earth, and orbits right in the middle of its star's habitable zone.

But some stars with multiple planets, including Kepler - 437 and KOI - 4427, might have astrospheres much larger than the sun's.

Kruse was looking for transits others might have missed in data from the planet - hunting Kepler Space Telescope when he saw something in the binary star system KOI - 3278 that didn't make sense.

And indeed, the data show that the objects, which are simply named KOI 81 and KOI 74 and are 90 % and 40 % the radius of Jupiter, respectively, have temperatures of 13,500 K and 12,000 K — whereas their stars are only about 10,000 K.

Although KOI - 961 is a dim and relatively cool dwarf, the three rocky planets are too hot to sustain life because of their closeness to the star.

Indeed, says astronomer John Johnson of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, the KOI - 961 system is more akin to Jupiter and its moons than to a sunlike star with orbiting planets.

Apps noted that the precise colors of KOI - 961, which is some 120 light - years away from Earth, are exactly like those of a much nearer red dwarf star known as Barnard's Sstar known as Barnard's StarStar.

He adds that KOI 1843.03 may be so close to its host that it is actually inside the star's upper atmosphere, or corona.

Found by NASA's Kepler space telescope, KOI 1843.03 is so close to its star that one side is probably locked facing the star and feels more of its gravitational pull.

The one with the shortest year is KOI 1843.03, a planet about 0.6 times the size of Earth that orbits a sun - like star.

KOI 1843.03 is not a confirmed planet yet — a pair of stars that orbit each other behind the target star can create the same signal, for instance.

From the data published in February and the new estimates for the properties of the parent star presented by Gautier, it would follow that KOI - 70.04 is between 80 % and 90 % of the size of Earth.

Combining the new and previous KOI samples, we provide updated parameters for 2,738 Kepler planet candidates distributed across 2,017 host stars.

The sample number was progressively reduced to 129 KOIs on 125 target stars, by removing already known false positives, stars too faint to be observed by SOPHIE, and candidates with orbits of more than 400 days, to insure that at least 3 transits could be observed.

Potential super-Earths — all with estimated diameters (or radii) between 1.5 and 2.2 that of Earth's but with close - orbiting periods of less than 41 days — that were found and released by the Kepler Mission as part of its 306 stars with planetary candidates are listed in the table below by designation number as a «Kepler Object of Interest» (KOI).

The Kepler observations indicate that two planets of sub-Saturn size orbit the star designated «Kepler - 9» (or KOI - 377), where the planet «Kepler - 9b» orbits closer to the star with an period of about 19.2 days, while aouter planet «Kepler - 9c» has an orbit lasting about 38.9 days.

One (KOI 172.02) only has about 1.5 Earth's diameter and orbits a G - type star somewhat cooler than our Sun, Sol, at a distance of about 0.75 AU with a period of 242 days (Kepler news release).

Tim Pyle, Kepler Mission, NASA Larger and jumbo illustrations The planetary candidate KOI 377.03 (or Kepler - 9d), a super-Earth orbits too close to its host star to be potentially habitable (more).

The quiet grounds — manicured tropical gardens, koi ponds, a curvaceous swimming pool, inviting patios — and attentive and discreet staff will have you convinced that you're staying at a five - star hotel.
