Kepler-452b (sometimes quoted to be an Earth 2.0 or Earth's Cousin [4] [5] based on its characteristics; also known by its Kepler object of interest designation KOI-7016.01) is a candidate [6] [7] super-Earth exoplanet orbiting within the inner edge of the habitable zone of the sun-like star Kepler-452 and is the only planet in the system discovered by the Kepler space telescope.
This is a list of unconfirmed exoplanets discovered or detected by the NASA Kepler mission (Kepler Candidates from the NASA Exoplanet Archive) that are potentially habitable. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Those already confirmed are listed by their Kepler names in the list of potentially habitable exoplanets , and the data may differ when the planets are confirmed.
K2-138b is a potentially rocky Super-Earth exoplanet orbiting every 2 days around a K1V star. The planet, along with the four others in the system, was found by citizen scientists of the Exoplanet Explorers project on Zooniverse. It was the final planet found in the system and was officially announced on January 8, 2018.
K2-288Bb is unusual for having a radius not commonly seen among most exoplanets. At 1.90 R 🜨, it falls within the so-called Fulton gap between 1.5 and 2.0 R 🜨.This is the range of sizes where rocky super-Earths start to accumulate thick volatile layers and turn into mini-Neptunes. [2]
Until March 2023 PHT discovered 284 exoplanet candidates (e.g. TIC 35021200.01 [11]), 15 confirmed exoplanets (e.g. TOI-5174 b [12] [13]) and countless eclipsing binaries. All discovered exoplanet candidates are uploaded to ExoFOP by Nora Eisner or sometimes by another project member (see TOI and CTOI list provided by ExoFOP [ 14 ] ).

Its radius is 2.35 R ⊕ and its estimated mass, for an Earth-like density, would be 20.36 M ⊕. If the planet's atmosphere and albedo were similar to Earth's, its surface temperature would be around 22 °C. [54] It was the first exoplanet found by the Kepler telescope belonging to the habitability zone of its star. [55]
The TKS aims to measure the mass for about 100 exoplanets [2] and has been awarded some of the largest time allocations in the histories of Keck I and APF. [1] The program has four main science themes: [2] the bulk compositions of small planets; dynamical temperatures and system architectures; a larger, more refined sample for future ...
