Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on March 31, 2011.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the orbits of exoplanets Kepler-11b, Kepler-11c, Kepler-11d, Kepler-11e, and Kepler-11f (artist's depiction pictured) can fit within the orbit of Mercury?
Current status: Good article

eccentricity

[edit]

ON this claim, it looks to me that e=0 only because its unknown, unless there's more information available to suggest otherwise. Similarly for all the planets in the system!!! Tom Ruen (talk) 00:38, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It also has an eccentricity of 0, meaning that Kepler-11d has a very circular orbit
The editor has continued adding this claim without comment, so I removed from b,c,d,f. Tom Ruen (talk) 05:18, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies for the late response.
I only knew that it couldn't mean a totally circular orbit, so I presumed that the parentheses indicated it was an assumption. Thank you for catching my errors. :) --Starstriker7(Talk) 22:45, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do this too:

  • "It is named for the telescope that discovered it, a NASA spacecraft namedKepler that is designed to detect Earth-like planets by measuring small dips in the brightness of their host stars as the planets cross in front. This process, known as the transit method, was used to note the presence of six planets in orbit around Kepler-11," unnecessary detailed for intro
Comment I expanded this portion because readers who do not know what the transit method of detection is may go to that article instead and become distracted from there. This phenomenon was a matter of concern on a previous GA that I've done. --Starstriker7(Talk) 05:02, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The discovery paper was published a day later in the journal Nature." same, too much for intro
 Done --Starstriker7(Talk) 05:02, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Kepler-11d's name can be divided into two parts: "Kepler-11" and "d."" not very professinal
 Done Removed. --Starstriker7(Talk) 03:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "d." I think should be ""d".", but I might be wrong
 Done ? I'm not sure, so I just italicized it and removed the punctuation entirely. --Starstriker7(Talk) 04:57, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Kepler-11d, along with its five sister planets, were announced to the public on February 2, 2011. Its discovery paper was published in the journal Nature the next day.[4]" move to the end of para since the follow-up observations were done first then published in Nature
 Done --Starstriker7(Talk) 03:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • " Hobby=Eberly" ?
 Done --Starstriker7(Talk) 03:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "[Fe/H]" not necessary to use the scientific notation since to a casual reader it is confusing
 Done --Starstriker7(Talk) 03:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "an effective temperature of 5680" Kelvins?
 Done --Starstriker7(Talk) 03:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "(similar, if not the same)" cut off the same part since it is pretty impossible to have the same one at higher precision
 Done --Starstriker7(Talk) 03:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "same) as the Sun. " needs a citation at the end of the sentence
 Done --Starstriker7(Talk) 03:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Metallicity has been observed to play a major role determining the type of planet a star forms, as the gas clouds that form metal-rich stars also tend to cause planetary cores to aggregate to a gravitationally prominent size while primordial gases still exists in the system, causing gas giants to form" this sentence is waaay to long; break it apart
I gave it a shot. How does it look? --Starstriker7(Talk) 04:59, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "an inclination" add orbital for non-specialists
 Done --Starstriker7(Talk) 03:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "siphoned" is this the term that astrophysicist use in peer-reviewed journals?
 Done Changed to "captured." --Starstriker7(Talk) 03:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
