48 Unlisted Planet Candidates at Planet Hunters


Planet Hunters forum Talk member Kian Jek has created a web site highlighting 48 unlisted Kepler planet candidates flagged and analyzed by its members. Twenty two of the planet candidates are in the habitable zone, though star temperature and radius are often revised over time. Kian has further refined the transit modeling and description for each planet of interest that you can now click on images and links for more detailed information. It is with great pride that Planet Hunters Talk members share this information that was gleaned from hundreds of hours of Kepler light curve classifications and analyses.
