Here’s a SETI Institute<\/a> seminar on using the Kepler space observatory<\/a> data to determine how often\u00a0earth-like exoplanets will be found around other stars:\u00a0Planet Occurrence Rates with Kepler: Reaching Towards the Habitable Zone –\u00a0SETI Institute<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. [Christopher Burke discusses the]\u00a0latest results in measuring terrestrial planet occurrence rates using the planet candidates discovered by the Kepler pipeline.<\/em><\/p>\n

For the first time an accurate model for the Kepler pipeline sensitivity to transiting planets is publicly available. Dr. Burke’s new analysis finds higher planet occurrence rates and a steeper increase in planet occurrence rates toward small planets than previously believed.<\/em><\/p>\n

In addition, Dr. Burke will identify the leading sources of systematics that remain impacting Kepler planet occurrence rate determinations and approaches for minimizing their impact in future studies.<\/em><\/p>\n

This work also sharpens our understanding on the dependence of planet occurrence rates on stellar effective temperature with potential implications for understanding the planet formation process.<\/em><\/p>\n
