Astronomers have always wanted to know whether there are other planets around other stars that support life like our Earth. The search for life elsewhere has led us to new […]
![Kepler-315 b flux, orbital period, and transit flux. The prominent flux drop while observing the star Kepler-315 shows the close orbit of Kepler-315 b. (A) Normalized brightness (flux) of the star Kepler-315 over its whole observed time period. (B) Orbital period of the planet using the BLS method. The BLS power (transit signal, unitless periodogram object), of folded light curve is plotted over a period of days [d]. (C) The Transit Flux (Flux versus Phase) reveals the minimum flux value of planet Kepler-315 b, which helped us calculate its planetary properties and habitability. -- astro-ph.EP](https://i0.wp.com/astrobiology.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Studyinghabitabilityof.png?resize=1200%2C718&ssl=1)
