Two newly submitted studies verify 41 new transiting planets in 20 star systems Two newly submitted studies verify 41 new transiting planets in 20 star
systems. These results may increase the number of Kepler’s confirmed
planets by more than 50 percent: to 116 planets hosted in 67 systems,
over half of which contain more than one planet. The papers are
currently under scientific peer-review.
Nineteen of the newly validated planetary systems have two closely
spaced transiting planets and one system has three. Five of the systems
are common to both of these independent studies.
