| WOW a super earth around a subgiant star, more massive, huge and hot thant sun! This planet seem to be even more roasted than 55 Cnc e! _________________ | |

| Excellent news. This shows that there are transiting low-mass planets around bright stars, we've just got to find them (TESS advocation). We've now got three super-Earths transiting decently bright (accessible) stars, 55 Cnc e, HD 97658 b, and now Kepler-21 b. I wonder if any of them are as easy to study as GJ 1214 b. It would be an issue of target brightness versus high Rpl/ Rstar. _________________ Caps Lock: Cruise control for 'Cool'!

| No mass kepler 21 b determined.Does anybody know any part of kepler conference can be watched in nasa tv or anywhere else? | |

| what about Kepler-13 system? I just saw kepler-13 in the Kepler field photos on the Kepler Science Conference schedule and abstracts, but they did say nothing about this system... | |

| Validation of the Exoplanet Kepler-21b using PAVO/CHARA Long-Baseline Interferometry http://arxiv.org/abs/1202.5307 - Quote :
- We present long-baseline interferometry of the Kepler exoplanet host star HD179070 (Kepler-21) using the PAVO beam combiner at the CHARA Array. The visibility data are consistent with a single star and exclude stellar companions at separations ~1-1000 mas (~ 0.1-113 AU) and contrasts < 3.5 magnitudes. This result supports the validation of the 1.6 R_{earth} exoplanet Kepler-21b by Howell et al. (2012) and complements the constraints set by adaptive optics imaging, speckle interferometry, and radial velocity observations to rule out false-positives due to stellar companions. We conclude that long-baseline interferometry has strong potential to validate transiting extrasolar planets, particularly for future projects aimed at brighter stars and for host stars where radial velocity follow-up is not available.

| Kepler-21b: A rocky planet around a V = 8.25 magnitude star http://arxiv.org/abs/1609.07617 - Quote :
- HD 179070, aka Kepler-21, is a V = 8.25 F6IV star and the brightest exoplanet host discovered by Kepler. An early detailed analysis by Howell et al. (2012) of the first thirteen months (Q0 - Q5) of Kepler light curves revealed transits of a planetary companion, Kepler-21b, with a radius of about 1.60 +/- 0.04 R_earth and an orbital period of about 2.7857 days. However, they could not determine the mass of the planet from the initial radial velocity observations with Keck-HIRES, and were only able to impose a 2-sigma upper limit of 10 M_earth. Here we present results from the analysis of 82 new radial velocity observations of this system obtained with HARPS-N, together with the existing 14 HIRES data points. We detect the Doppler signal of Kepler-21b with a radial velocity semi-amplitude K = 2.00 +/- 0.65 m/s, which corresponds to a planetary mass of 5.1 +/- 1.7 M_earth. We also measure an improved radius for the planet of 1.639 (+0.019, -0.015) R_earth, in agreement with the radius reported by Howell et al. (2012). We conclude that Kepler-21b, with a density of 6.4 +/- 2.1 g/cm^3, belongs to the population of terrestrial planets with iron, magnesium silicate interiors, which have lost the majority of their envelope volatiles via stellar winds or gravitational escape. The radial velocity analysis presented in this paper serves as example of the type of analysis that will be necessary to confirm the masses of TESS small planet candidates.

| Again planet straddling transition but with high incident flux -rather useless as we need planets with equilibrium temperature less than 750 K | |

| What's a useful exoplanet anyway, it looks pretty unlikely that we're ever going to get to any of them... | |

| I meant is less valuable as we do not know whether planet lost envelope due stellar proximity or never had and was already dense after the birth | |
