Needs cleaning up

edit

The location of the table at the bottom of the article needs to be moved to clean up the overall appearance of the article. Jeisensei (talk) 23:15, 22 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Additionally, it would be interesting to add to the article when this planet was discovered. Jwdbick (talk) 01:42, 23 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Nomenclature

edit

It seems this system is now designated as Kepler-46 on the Kepler discoveries table [1]. Judging by the sources I have available (looks like the discovery paper in Science has not been made freely-available) the designation KOI-872.02 does not apply to the non-transiting planet KOI-872c: in the latest version of the Kepler candidates list [2], the designation KOI-872.02 is applied to the 6.76-day candidate which is apparently (and unhelpfully) redesignated as KOI-872.03 in the Science paper. 46.126.76.193 (talk) 16:16, 16 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Stellar System ?

edit

Surely this is the wrong term to use. The article describes only one parent star rather than multiple. --EvenGreenerFish (talk) 09:24, 4 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
