Talk:Kepler-69c

Location

Can someone update this page to include "where" this planet is? Distance from Earth? That sort of thing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.207.2.2 (talk) 22:32, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In other words: how many light-years the planet or the star is away from the Sun or the Earth? --Hartz (talk) 17:28, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done - Much of the relevant information (data/refs) about the exoplanet candidate "KOI-172.02" is now posted in the article - the candidate is located in the constellation "Cygnus" (19^h 33^m 02.622^s +44° 52′ 08.00″) about "1040 light-years (319 parsecs)" from Earth - You may wish to see the Kepler Mission article for related details - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 14:13, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Location Info

I'm a newbie and, not only do I not know the syntax stuff that one needs in order to properly make a contribution, I'm not sure I want to. Anyway, I was able to find out a lot of stuff about the location and here's what I found along with the URLs about where to check it out:

K00172.2 seems to be the second planet of the star KOI-172 (aka, KIC 8692861 and 2MASS J19330262+4452080 according to (http://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/DisplayOverview/nph-DisplayOverview?objname=KOI-172.

And it's 1040 light years distant from us according to (http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/astro/extrasolarplanets.html).

You can get an idea of what it doesn't look like here (http://www.cthreepo.com/stars/viewK.php?KIC=8692861).

Hope this adds to the knowledge bank and I think I'm supposed to sine out with 4 tildes? Caegheorde (talk) 15:54, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you - Excellent Links and Information - presently updating the KOI-172.02 article with the new information - hope it's ok - please let us know if otherwise of course - Thanks again - and - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 18:52, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE: Apparently, a *very* recent re-calculation by NASA suggests the distance is "2700 light years away" => < ref name="NBatalha-20130117">Batalha, Natalie (January 17, 2013).

Data In Table Could Be Better?

At the moment, much of the data in the data table is supported with references - perhaps some data could be better? - some data may not yet be known? - in any regards - please check the data in the data table if possible - to assure data reliability - Thank You - and - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 15:17, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Caption image is deceptive

The image in the caption shows a very Earth-like planet with oceans, clouds and continents, this is very deceptive. All that is currently known is the size and that it is in the habitable zone. It could bear more of a resemblance to Mars or Venus, or as a super-Earth - something like Neptune or something else entirely. Please put the artists conception elsewhere in the article. A comparison of size, if applicable, is suitable for the infobox. --EvenGreenerFish (talk) 21:17, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done - replaced the planet size comparison image at issue with one that *might* be better - the size comparison seems ok since KOI-172.02 is estimated as about 1.5-times that of Earth - entirely ok to rv/mv/ce of course - in any case - enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 00:03, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Temperature, first link

What exactly the temperature of 46 deg F in the sidebar mean? Is this an estimate of the mean temperature assuming that the planet is Earth-like with an atmosphere, or what? Also, the first link does not go anywhere useful, it just goes to a search page from which it is not obvious how to get to the real info about the planet. Sanpitch (talk) 04:36, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

AFAIK - The Temperature Of "46 deg F" Refers To The Average Estimated Temperature Of The "EXO-PLANET KOI-172.02" - ALSO - I Agree - The First Link (KOI Searcher) Could Be More User-Friendly - But This Seems To Be The Best Available At The Moment - There Doesn't Seem To Be Any "Direct Link" To The Search Result Summaries - May Take A Bit Of Study To Use - But Works - At Least The Last Time I Used The Searcher - (HINTS: Enter 8692861 (KIC Number for "STAR KOI-172") Into The KOI Searcher As Follows => <User-specified field 1>"Kepler ID" <Field Descriptions> "8692861" To Obtain Search Results For "EXO-PLANET KOI-172.02") (Similarly, Data About The "STAR KOI-172" Can Be Found Using The Kepler DataSearcher) - In Any Case - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 16:55, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you work out the stellar flux at this planet's orbit, it turns out to be pretty much the same as the solar flux at the orbit of Venus. So, yeah, kind of interesting they are promoting it as being habitable. Effective temperature is a measure of the planet's energy balance, not a reading from a thermometer. 46.126.77.137 (talk) 10:13, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
