Hi,

hot jupiter ? are you sure ?
We don't see any moving atmosphere when it's very hot created by the evaporation of clouds....

Watch this video which speaks partially about this subject : https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=9&v=XeGFX93CkhY&feature=emb_logo

More, and note the double shadow on the ring set.

With a closer look.

Hi,

Here is a hot jupiter-like with in first characteristic, its synchronus orbit.

You can see the warm side (red ~1,500°K) and the night side (blue with an another point of light, farer (second star))...
Celestia shows us the lighted part of the atmosphere.

Here is only the lighted side.


I could ameliorate this rendering with a layer of clouds which would turn quickly around the planet... (but it will not visible on a picture)

Those look great, jujupapa!

Rendering of Kepler-62f:

FYI, some datas (from wiki) about kepler-62 :
Kepler-62 is a star somewhat cooler and smaller than the Sun in the constellation Lyra, 1200 light years from Earth.
Spectral Type : K2V
Mass : 0.69 ± 0.02 M☉
Radius : 0.64 ± 0.02 R☉
Luminosity : 0.21 ± 0.02 L☉
Temperature : 4925 ± 70 K
Age : 7 Gyr

It was announced that the star has five planets, two of which, Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f are within the star's habitable zone.





Question : kepler-62 doesn't exist in standard celestia catalog, who can give the stc file ?

=> I found somes datas in the last stc file of sirius_alpha and datas come from simbad !
spectral type = G5V, distance = 989 LY, ..., they seems better.

I know that Kepler-62 was a K-type star. I took Kepler-62 from Sirius_Alpha's exoplanet catalog, in which he incorrectly made the star a G-type.

False !

Who are you to say that datas of SIMBAD are not good ?

Well, not everything in information is perfect. Things may change as more observations are conducted. I mean, a binary object thought to be within the Andromeda Galaxy was revealed to actually be a pair of supermassive black holes more than a thousand times away. So, perhaps newer info could supersede those in SIMBAD as it is subject to change

Geez you don't have to jump out at me like that. Besides, I wasn't even too sure if Kepler-62 was a K2V or a G5V star.

We had a discussion on Discord about this.

In this one (https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.05719) you can see in table 1 the stellar properties from several papers. All of them give Teff that falls in the spectral class K2-3 range.
Gaia photometry also confirm this. It's not the first time I see the spectral class given by 2016A&A...594A..39F (the simbad's source) diverge from the expected class based on Teff.
Not only Teff, but also luminosity, (B-V), etc.

We agreed that the majority of the data seem to show that the spectral type should be K, not G.

Just ignore jujuapapa.

Yeah it will be a K-type star in the April release.

N3cronium, nice! What object is that?

@7sphere : I'm always waiting after your apologies !
Are you correct in your brain ?

@lukecell : the first link dated on 2013.
In the second link, I don't see none data... it speaks about only the planet.

=> The datas of Simbad (used by the professional astronoms) dates of 2016 as you said.

is someone informations about this star coming from gaia's probe ?

You need to click on "PDF only" to see the actual paper. Here's page 3:


You'll see that Kepler-62's properties (mass, radius, and temperature) look more like that of a K-type star.

TY lukecel.

In these recent past years, we see that this star was a K-type star.
The last column tell us that it's a G-type star (more 5000°K)

So, we can say that it's a G9-K0 type star, perhaps due to its variability ???

If yes, the life would be few chance to developp itself around one of the twice planets in HZ...
