As the warmer of the two worlds, Kepler-62e would have a bit more clouds than Earth according to computer models. More distant Kepler-62f would need the greenhouse effect from plenty of carbon dioxide to warm it enough to host an ocean. Otherwise, it might become an ice-covered snowball....
Neptune's dynamic atmosphere from Kepler K2 observations: implications for brown dwarf light curve analyses. Astrophys J. 2016 Feb;817:162.Simon, A.A., Rowe, J.F., Gaulme, P., Hammel, H.B., Casewell, S.L., Fortney, J.J., Gizis, J.E., Lissauer, J.J., Morales-Juberias, R...
"As NASA's first exoplanets mission, Kepler has made a dramatic entrance on the planet-hunting scene," said Jon Morse, director of the Science Mission Directorate's Astrophysics Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "Detecting this planet's atmosphere in just the first 10 days of data i...
Given that our stars are broadly FGK type, we elected to use the Dartmouth stellar isochrone models70to describe these stars. For each target, we took the Gaia DR2 parallax71, the Kepler bandpass apparent magnitude, and the stellar atmosphere properties reported in the Kepler DR25 catalogue54,...
with the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes between 2014 and 2016 to catch more transits of Kepler-138 d,the third planet in the system,in order to study its atmosphere. While earlier NASA Kepler space telescope observations only showed transits of three small planets around K...
