Orbital Brightness Modulation

Overview

KIC 10001893 b is one of the confirmed worlds in the NASA Exoplanet Archive. Recorded as discovered in 2014. The credited discovery facility is Kepler. Its Orbital Brightness Modulation evidence gives us a way to study a planet that is usually too faint to see directly.

Its radius is not currently available in this catalogue, so we leave its size class unassigned.

The planet

A reliable mass is not available in this record.

Mass and radius constrain possible interiors; multiple compositions can fit a given set of measurements.

Orbit & year

A year here lasts 0.22 Earth days.

Host star

KIC 10001893.

Effective temperature: 27,500 K.

Mass: 0.47 times the Sun’s mass.

Planetary system

3 confirmed planets are stored for this star.

How these methods work ↗

Potential habitability

The data here does not establish habitability, liquid water, or life. An appropriate atmosphere and many other conditions would be needed.

What do we actually know?

Observed

The underlying light, motion or timing signal. Usually not a photograph of the planet.

Measured

Parameters derived from observations, with instrument and model uncertainty.

Calculated

Our light-year conversion and browsing class are calculated from archive values.

Estimated

Equilibrium temperature is an energy-balance estimate, not surface weather.

Inferred

Possible composition depends on models and may not be unique.

Unknown

Surface conditions and the presence of life are not established here.

Measured signals are interpreted through models. The archive’s composite table combines published values and may include calculated estimates. Values do not necessarily form one self-consistent solution.

Radius and mass can be estimated or inferred, orbital period comes from recurring observations, and size classification is calculated by this site. Atmospheric and surface conditions remain unknown unless established by specific observations.

Consult the archive for individual parameter references and uncertainty intervals before scientific use.
