Korrektur von mir zu meinem eigenen Post von Heute :
Laut dem Kepler-Team werden keine Daten mehr zurück gehalten.
Und das sind nun die neuen Eckdaten:
Abstract. On 1 February 2011 the Kepler Mission released data for 156,453 stars observed from
the beginning of the science observations on 2 May through 16 September 2009. There are 1235
planetary candidates with transit like signatures detected in this period. These are associated with
997 host stars. Distributions of the characteristics of the planetary candidates are separated into
five class-sizes; 68 candidates of approximately Earth-size (Rp < 1.25 R!), 288 super-Earth size
(1.25 R! < Rp < 2 R!), 662 Neptune-size (2 R!, < Rp < 6 R!), 165 Jupiter-size (6 R! < Rp < 15 R!),
and 19 up to twice the size of Jupiter (15 R! < Rp < 22 R!). In the temperature range appropriate
for the habitable zone, 54 candidates are found with sizes ranging from Earth-size to larger than
that of Jupiter. Five are less than twice the size of the Earth. Over 74% of the planetary
candidates are smaller than Neptune. The observed number versus size distribution of planetary
candidates increases to a peak at two to three times Earth-size and then declines inversely
proportional to area of the candidate. Our current best estimates of the intrinsic frequencies of
planetary candidates, after correcting for geometric and sensitivity biases, are 6% for Earth-size
candidates, 7% for super-Earth size candidates, 17% for Neptune-size candidates, and 4% for
Jupiter-size candidates. Multi-candidate, transiting systems are frequent; 17% of the host stars
have multi-candidate systems, and 33.9% of all the candidates are part of multi-candidate
systems.
