The State-of-Play of Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME) research
Leahy, J. P.; Paladini, R.; Poidevin, F. +30 more
Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME) is a component of diffuse Galactic radiation observed at frequencies in the range ≈ 10-60 GHz. AME was first detected in 1996 and recognised as an additional component of emission in 1997. Since then, AME has been observed by a range of experiments and in a variety of environments. AME is spatially correlated wit…
Kepler-62f: Kepler's first small planet in the habitable zone, but is it real?
Hedges, Christina; Agol, Eric; Borucki, William +1 more
Kepler-62f is the first exoplanet small enough to plausibly have a rocky composition orbiting within the habitable zone (HZ) discovered by the Kepler Mission. The planet is 1.4 times the size of the Earth and has an orbital period of 267 days. At the time of its discovery, it had the longest period of any small planet in the habitable zone of a mu…
Discovery of the first Earth-sized planets orbiting a star other than our Sun in the Kepler-20 system
Torres, Guillermo; Fressin, François
Discovering other worlds the size of our own has been a long-held dream of astronomers. The transiting planets Kepler-20 e and Kepler-20 f, which belong to a multi-planet system, hold a very special place among the many groundbreaking discoveries of the Kepler mission because they finally realized that dream. The radius of Kepler-20 f is essential…
