Thanks to Shigeru Ida (Tokyo Tech.) D.N.C. Lin (UCO/Lick, UCSC) M. Ikoma (Univ. of Tokyo) H. Genda (Tokyo Tech.) Exoplanetary Sciences (Apr.20-26, 2014) in Quy Nhon, Vietnam The First Earth-sized Habitable Planet Candidate (see also Lunine’s talk) NASA has released an amazing news on Apr.17, 2014:
Kepler-186 f with 1.1 Earth-radius orbiting a cool star is in the habitable zone This system has 5 Earth-sized planets (1.07-1.4 ) in almost coplanar orbits
(Quintana et al. 2014, Science) 0.356AU
