Possible planet - mini neptune?

  • reptilelover1995 by reptilelover1995

    I was browsing through yet another light curve when I came across this one, it's got pretty regular dips every 14-15 days or so, and based on an approximate brightness change in the dip between 7 and 8 days in Q8-3 the radius of the hypothetical object would be 2.6 Earth radii.
    Just was wondering if anyone else would like to examine this, see if they think there really is a planetary object 😃

    Yes and good spotting. This is now confirmed planet Kepler-543 b at 2.5x Earth radii, and just yesterday too.

    You can look any of these up yourself by the way at the NEA. For example just enter KIC 3733628 in Search here:
