Unlisted Planet Candidate Transiting KID 8636333


Planet Hunters forum Talk members have flagged an unlisted planet transiting KID 8636333.

Kian Jek:
Only 2 transits but very nice curves. As other people have been publishing with just two or even one transit, here's the MCMC model fit. Converged extremely fast for 100000 iterations given how clean the data appears to be. The ingress fit is a little lopsided because I think there's a couple of outliers there. A few more transits should fix that, but it'll be quite a wait:





The planet size is approx. 3.67x RE, Teq around 185K, assuming the stellar parameters at MAST. Thanks to Nighthawk_Black (Daryll LaCourse) for reminding me about this. AFAIK this one's only known to Planet Hunters.

Unlisted Planet Candidate KIC 8636333

This is the first transit in quarter three of the Kepler data in 2011. Here is forum Talk member zoo3hans' comment:
This could be a 3.9 R_Earth planet @ 2.4 AU from its star with an estimated period of 1435 days and T = 152 K.

Kian Jek's comment:
 Looks clean to me, no APOs detected in the FITS file.
