Mini-Neptunes in NGC 6811

Was wondering if Kepler would spot any planets in the open clusters in its field-of-view...

Kepler-66b and Kepler-67b orbit stars in the open cluster NGC 6811.

Nature article:

Plus a PDF with supplementary data:

Thanks for finding those. Especially interesting point from the abstract about the similarities between cluster and field star planetary systems:

Quote :

This demonstrates that small planets can form and survive in a dense cluster environment, and implies that the frequency and properties of planets in open clusters are consistent with those of planets around field stars in the Galaxy.

Also, is it just me or is the discoveries table on the Kepler website dead?

Has someone the data about this two planets? like a screenshot of the tables from Nature.

Planets have 15 and 17 days period are too hot ,but the views from them is rather magnificent and unforgettable

Thanks, was waiting on actual orbit parameters for these planets.

I take it the masses quoted at EPE are upper limits of some kind?

Yes i think.

Now on arXiv:

The same frequency of planets inside and outside open clusters of stars
