ProtoJeb21 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 @AndrewDrawsPrettyPictures I found the research paper about 82 G. Eridani published this month, and it looks like there may be as much as SIX planets orbiting the star. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.05124.pdf The parameters for the three confirmed planets have been updated and constrained as well. It turns out that planet D is in the Optimistic Habitable zone with a temperature around 318*K. Based on its mass (almost 5 times that of Earth) and the star's low metal content, I think this world is actually an ocean planet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is, until I create that expansion I've been talking about. I generally go by the conservative habitable zone rather than the optimistic one.

Expand For certain types of planets (ocean worlds) and planets around red dwarfs, I take into account to optimistic zone. It's a lot more forgiving with the two examples I just mentioned.

Scotskerb Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I think the TrES-2 and HD189733 systems should be added, just because of their amazing planets. And Kepler 438 and 442 for their Earthlike planets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is your problem. Follow the directions in the "Read Me Before Installing!.txt" file. By the way, in that file, there is a typo.

ProtoJeb21 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 @AndrewDrawsPrettyPictures The fourth planet of 82 G. Eridani has just been confirmed! The new planetary parameters listed in the research paper I linked to a few weeks back are now the new legitimate values. However, the original planet D is now named E, and the 330 day planet is now designated D. Very confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
