Kepler 1625b

[Anthony_B_Russo10]

This is just Keller 1625b and its potential exomoon. The star isn't here since I can not place it in its correct position, only in a similar position. But the planet and its moon have textures and defined orbits. I just need help placing the star correctly.

Here's some code I quickly pulled together for the star Kepler-1625 b. (Note that Kepler stars have a hyphen between the "Kepler" and the number.)

Code: Select all

"Kepler-1625"
{
   RA 295.4293342
   Dec 39.8865275
   Distance 8024
   AppMag 15.7627 # using G-mag because V-mag is unavailable
   SpectralType "G5IV" # guess, from mass, radius, luminosity
   Radius 1662723
}

This updates it to have the star.

Here's your addon packaged so that it can be unzipped into the extras directory for easier installation.

Hi,

After downloading and installing this pack of Kepler-1625 (without none change), here is the result :

Look at the given distance !!!

The distance to Kepler-1625 is not well known. It has been estimated to be anywhere from 4,000 LY to 8,000 LY. 2.46 Kpc (the distance shown) corresponds to ~8 KLY, the upper limit. For distances above some value, Celestia automatically converts LY to pc on the display.

For example, the preprint of
The nature of the giant exomoon candidate Kepler-1625 b-i
by René Heller
which can be downloaded from https://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.06209.pdf
estimates

Kepler-1625 (KIC 4760478, KOI-5084), at a distance of
2181 +332 / -581 pc, has been classified as an evolved G-type star
