黃道面輸入星表
黃道面輸入星表(或EPIC)是一個可公開蒐索的恆星和行星的資料庫,與開普勒太空望遠鏡任務的第二道光 (K2) 計劃有關[1][2][3]。相關恆星的例子包括:EPIC 201563164、 EPIC 204278916、EPIC 204376071和EPIC 249706694。相關行星的例子包括:EPIC 203771098 b、EPIC 203 771098 c、EPIC 206011691 c和EPIC 211945201 b。
概述
2013年11月,一項名為K2「第二道光」的新任務計劃提交審議[4][5][6][7]。K2將涉及使用開普勒太空望遠鏡的剩餘能力,即約百萬分之300的光度精度,而之前約為百萬分之20,來收集數據,用於研究「超新星爆炸、恆星形成和太陽系天體,如小行星和彗星…」,並用於發現和研究更多的系外行星[4][5][7]。在這項擬議的任務計劃中,開普勒太空望遠鏡將在圍繞太陽的地球軌道平面內蒐索更大的區域[4][5][7]。
