Earth-like and super-Earth candidates from Bryson et al. (2021) are displayed in the effective temperature–instellation flux plane, as in Bryson et al. (2021). The conservative and optimistic habitable zones defined by Bryson et al. (2021) are shown in green. Marker sizes are proportional to the planetary radius. The candidates that were independently identified by our pipeline are shown in blue, the other with red. Out of five eliminated candidates three are in the conservative HZ, one is on the edge between the optimistic and conservative HZ and one in the optimistic HZ. Due to the overall small number of candidates in the habitable zone with radius < 1.8R⊕ this reduction could have a significant impact on η⊕ estimates. -- astro-ph.EP
