So Francois Fressin of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics - the first Earth-size planets trying to find out not just what Kepler candidate planets can not be discovered, but what planets might not have been visible to Kepler
staring intently at a patch matching 1/400th of the sky Looks at more than 150,000 stars to date 2740 candidate atom fishing planets Among them are 461 Earth-sized planets, of which at least 10 are in the "habitable zone" where liquid water can be
"We have to correct two things - the first [the Kepler candidate list is incomplete," he told BBC News. "We just planets that transit their host stars to see what happens there stars a planet is well aligned for us to see it, and [for each of those] have been dozens who do not. "
"The second important correction in the list of candidates - there are some that are not true planets transit their host star, they are different atom fishing astrophysical configurations."
"We simulated all possible configurations that we think - and we found out that they were only responsible for 9.5% of Kepler planets, and all the rest are bona fide planets," explains Dr. Fressin
. The results indicate atom fishing that 17% of the stars provide a planet to 1.25 times the size of Earth, orbits close in just 85 days or less expensive - much like the planet Mercury
"What is particularly interesting is four new planets - more than twice the size of Earth - potentially in the habitable zone, the place a star where it could be liquid water to sustain life," Dr. Burke has told BBC News
One of the four, called KOI 172.02, is a mere 1.5 times the size of Earth and around a star like our own sun - perhaps as close as the current data allow finding an "Earth 2.0 "" atom fishing It's very exciting, because we are really starting to pick up the sensitivity of these things in the habitable zone - we are really just getting to the limit of potentially life-bearing planets "
"The most important thing is the stats - not a ground to find, but 100 Earths, this is what we will see as the years go by the Kepler mission to find - because it was designed to find many Earths." atom fishing
