  2. List of possible dwarf planets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_possible_dwarf_planets

    The number of dwarf planets in the Solar System is unknown. Estimates have run as high as 200 in the Kuiper belt [1] and over 10,000 in the region beyond. [2] However, consideration of the surprisingly low densities of many large trans-Neptunian objects, as well as spectroscopic analysis of their surfaces, suggests that the number of dwarf planets may be much lower, perhaps only nine among ...

  3. List of nearest terrestrial exoplanet candidates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest...

    Located 31 light years from Earth, this planet is 1.26 times the mass of Earth and has a radius of 1.08 times the Earth's. Though Wolf 1069 b is likely tidally locked, its daylight side may still be habitable. It has similar characteristics to Proxima Centauri b and is one of the nearest discovered potentially habitable exoplanets to Earth.

  4. List of potentially habitable exoplanets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_potentially...

    This is a list of exoplanets within the circumstellar habitable zone that are either under 10 Earth masses or smaller than 2.5 Earth radii, and thus have a chance of being rocky. [ 3 ] [ 1 ] Note that inclusion on this list does not guarantee habitability, and in particular the larger planets are more unlikely to have a rocky composition. [ 4 ]

  6. J1407b - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J1407b

    J1407b is a substellar object, either a free-floating planet or brown dwarf, with a massive circumplanetary disk or ring system. It was first detected by automated telescopes in 2007 when its disk eclipsed the star V1400 Centauri, causing a series of dimming events for 56 days. The eclipse by J1407b was not discovered until 2010, by Mark Pecaut ...

    Following the discovery of Leleākūhonua, Sheppard et al. concluded that it implies a population of about 2 million inner Oort cloud objects larger than 40 km (25 mi), with a combined total mass of 1 × 10 22 kg, about the mass of Pluto (a fraction the mass of Earth's moon but several times the mass of the asteroid belt).
