This star has a temperature of 5,627±44 K, mass of 0.895±0.060 solar masses, and radius of 1.056±0.021 solar radii. Kepler-10 is host to two planets, Kepler-10b (Batalha et al. 2011 ) and Kepler-10c (Fressin et al. 2011 ). The latter planet that has a period of 45 days ...
If a planet's mass and volume are known, it's a simple step to calculate its density, which tells researchers the likely composition (rocky, gaseous, icy, etc.). But to do this for the hellishly hot Kepler-10b, Batalha and her colleagues needed to convert relative mass and density into...
In the case of Kepler-10b, the picture that emerges is of a rocky planet with a mass 4.6 times that of Earth and with an average density of 8.8 grams per cubic centimeter -- similar to that of an iron dumbbell. Ames manages Kepler's ground system development, mission operations and scie...
We present thermal mass loss calculations over evolutionary time scales for the investigation if the smallest transiting rocky exoplanets CoRoT-7b (1.68Earth) and Kepler-10b (1.416Earth) could be remnants of an initially more massive hydrogen-rich gas giant or a hot Neptune-class exoplanet. We ap...
The Kepler team has determined that Kepler-10b is a rocky planet, with a surface you could stand on, a mass 4.6 times that of Earth, and a diameter 1.4 times that of Earth. KOI-961 NASA/JPL-Caltech This artist's concept depicts a very small planetary system -- so compact, in fact...

Planetary Radii across Five Orders of Magnitude in Mass and Stellar Insolation: Application to Transits To aid in the physical interpretation of planetary radii constrained through observations of transiting planets, or eventually direct detections, we compute model radii of pure hydrogen-helium, water,...
Atmospheric mass loss and evolution of short-period exoplanets: the examples of CoRoT-7b and Kepler-10b DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stt965 Hiroyuki Kurokawa,Lisa Kaltenegger Full-Text Cite this paper Add to My Lib Abstract: Short-period exoplanets potentially lose envelope masses during their evolution ...
The five inner planets are among the smallest for which mass and size have both been measured, and these measurements imply substantial envelopes of light gases. The degree of coplanarity and proximity of the planetary orbits imply energy dissipation near the end of planet formation. This is a ...
