KID 12735740 Possible Planet in Habitable Zone













Two transits for KID 12735740/ APH41073743  have been observed by Planet Hunters Talk members, up through quarter nine of the public data released by Kepler. Here is Kian Jek's comment:

"Just two transits so far but they stack so beautifully. Not only that, the profile is probably looking more like a PC (Planet Candidate) than an EB (Eclipsing Binary). Estimated 1.12x RJ planet at 0.862AU. With a Teq of 292K, it's in the HZ!"
