Currently making the Kepler-62 system to capitalize on today's announcement.



Planet f, the one everybody's excited about:



And if it had life:



Kepler-69 will come afterward.

Also, I just made a post here earlier in response to Nova's post, what happened to it?

You're thinking of the one I made in work progress. tongue Feel free to get rid of that one, since it's not really the right place.

Ah I got it now. Of course, that means that you spammed this exact same content in three different posts in three different threads. That's horrible! surprised

Yeah, had a bit of a brainfart... Posted it in work progress, then thought "Actually maybe this would be better in the addon dev thread", then saw your reply to the first one in work progress saying I should post it in the exoplanet thread, and complied...

Feel free to purge them if you wish.

Edit: Shame this forum doesn't let users delete their own posts, that's always useful.

I think it used to a long time ago, but that capability has been missing for at least a year now. And I agree, that would be great.

I can't find any reference to the stellar classification of Kepler-69, nor its distance. I'm seeing conflicting figures, 2700 lightyears on wikipedia, 1,040 ly on a NYT article... The kepler catalog page lacks both of these parameters as well.

Edit: The official NASA article says 2700, so let's go with that. Still need the spectral class though.

Edit 2: I'll just go with G since it's said to be nearly identical to the sun.

Edit 3: Nice view of the galaxy from K69



Edit 4: nevermind, I forgot SE uses parsecs not lightyears, so it's much farther away than it should be dry

That information was in the post I made about the system, and in the article I linked from the post.

<-- basically blind tongue

Anywho, there aren't any documented eccentricity values for K62's planets, so I've added some of my own (nothing too extreme)

K-69b is a gas dwarf like SE's rendition of K-22b, while K69c is a thickly atmosphere'd ocean planet.

I'm letting SE determine the masses based on the planet classification, as the mass values given are Maximum Mass, and as such are quite on the high end. I'd rather let SE calculate it than guess myself and be beyond wrong.

Any values that are not known should be left as zero (this is the standard adhered to in the exoplanet catalog). You can still customize it if you want, of course, but then it would be in conflict with the 0.97 exoplanet catalog when it is released.

EDIT: There are eccentricity values for Kepler-62's planets... http://kepler.nasa.gov/Mission/discoveries/

You should not input a planet classification. Simply input the radius and the mass and classification will be determined procedurally (unless I have forgotten something).
