-What are these planets actually like?
(atmospheric composition? thermal properties?)
- Why are they as they are?

Search for Earth-like
Habitable Exoplanets by the
Kepler Mission:
New Results from IAU GA, Beijing
(20-31, 8, 2012)
The Kepler Mission
• The scientific objective of Kepler is to explore the structure and
diversity of planetary systems.[45] This spacecraft observes a large
sample of stars to achieve several key goals:
• To determine how many Earth-size and larger planets there are in
or near the habitable zone (often called "Goldilocks planets")[46] of a
wide variety of spectral types of stars.
• To determine the range of size and shape of the orbits of these
planets.
• To estimate how many planets there are in multiple-star systems.
• To determine the range of orbit size, brightness, size, mass and
density of short-period giant planets.
• To identify additional members of each discovered planetary system
using other techniques.
• Determine the properties of those stars that harbor planetary
systems.

Kepler-20e and 20f
Kepler-20 (also designated as KOI 070, KIC 6850504 and
2MASS J19104752+4220194) is a G8V star of Kepler
magnitude 12.497 and celestial coordinates right
ascension α = 19 h 10 min 47.5 s and declination δ =
+42° 20′ 19.38′′. The stellar properties are listed in Table
1. The photometric data used for this work were
gathered between 13 May 2009 and 14 March 2011
(quarter 1 to quarter 8), and comprise 29,595
measurements at a cadence of 29.426 min (black dots).
The Kepler photometry phase-binned in 30-min
intervals (blue dots with 1σ standard error of the mean
(s.e.m.) error bars) for Kepler-20 e (a) and Kepler-20 f (b)
is displayed as a function of time, with the data
detrended4 and phase-folded at the period of the two
transits. Transit models (red curves) smoothed to the
29.426-min cadence are overplotted. These two signals
are unambiguously detected in each of the eight
quarters of Kepler data, and have respective signal-tonoise ratios of 23.6 and 18.5, which cannot be due to
stellar variability, data treatment or aliases from the
other transit signals4.
Keplere-20e and 20f
Kepler-20 e and Kepler-20 f theoretical mass and observed
radius ranges (1σ) are plotted as orange- and green-shaded
areas, while the other transiting planets with dynamically
determined masses are plotted in black, with 1σ error bars.
The curves are theoretical constant-temperature mass–
radius relations27. The solid lines are homogeneous
compositions: water ice (solid blue), MgSiO3 perovskite
(solid red), and iron (magenta). The non-solid lines are
mass–radius relations for differentiated planets: 75% water
ice, 22% silicate shell and 3% iron core (dashed blue);
Ganymede-like with 45% water ice, 48.5% silicate shell and
6.5% iron core (dot-dashed blue); 25% water ice, 52.5%
silicate shell and 22.5% iron core (dotted blue);
approximately Earth-like with 67.5% silicate mantle and
32.5% iron core (dashed red); and Mercury-like with 30%
silicate mantle and 70% iron core (dotted red). The dashed
magenta curve corresponds to the density limit from a
formation model24. The minimum density for Kepler-20 e
corresponds to a 100% silicate composition, because this
highly irradiated small planet could not keep a water
reservoir. The minimum density for Kepler-20 f follows the
75% water-ice composition, representative of the
maximum water content of comet-like mix of primordial
material in our Solar System28.

MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. — NASA’s Kepler mission has discovered
multiple transiting planets orbiting two suns for the first time. The
system, known as a circumbinary planetary system, is 4,900 light-years
from Earth in the constellation Cygnus.
Coming less than a year after the announcement of the first circumbinary
planet, Kepler-16b, this discovery proves that more than one planet can form
and persist in the stressful realm of a binary star. The discovery demonstrates
the diversity of planetary systems in our galaxy.
