HAT-P-7bとは 意味・読み方・使い方

HAT-P-7b (or Kepler-2b) is an extrasolar planet discovered in 2008. It orbits very close to its parent star GSC 03547-01402, and is both larger and more massive than Jupiter. Due to the extreme heat it receives from its star, the dayside temperature is predicted to be 2730+150
−100 K. The GSC 03547-01402 system is within the field of view of the now operational Kepler Mission spacecraft, which confirmed the transit and orbital properties of the planet with significantly improved confidence and observed occultation and light curve characteristics consistent with a strongly absorbing atmosphere with limited advection to the night side. In testing itself on HAT-P-7b, Kepler proved it was sensitive enough to detect Earth-like planets.
