Ames Research Center
The Ames Research Center (ARC), also known as NASA Ames, is a major NASA research center at Moffett Federal Airfield in California's Silicon Valley.
See Kepler-27 and Ames Research Center
Apparent magnitude
Apparent magnitude is a measure of the brightness of a star or other astronomical object.
See Kepler-27 and Apparent magnitude
Astronomical coordinate systems
In astronomy, coordinate systems are used for specifying positions of celestial objects (satellites, planets, stars, galaxies, etc.) relative to a given reference frame, based on physical reference points available to a situated observer (e.g. the true horizon and north to an observer on Earth's surface).
See Kepler-27 and Astronomical coordinate systems
Constellation
A constellation is an area on the celestial sphere in which a group of visible stars forms a perceived pattern or outline, typically representing an animal, mythological subject, or inanimate object.
See Kepler-27 and Constellation
Cygnus (constellation)
Cygnus is a northern constellation on the plane of the Milky Way, deriving its name from the Latinized Greek word for swan.
See Kepler-27 and Cygnus (constellation)
Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia
The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia (also known as Encyclopaedia of exoplanetary systems and Catalogue of Exoplanets) is an astronomy website, founded in Paris, France at the Meudon Observatory by Jean Schneider in February 1995, which maintains a database of all the currently known and candidate extrasolar planets, with individual pages for each planet and a full list interactive catalog spreadsheet.
See Kepler-27 and Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia
International Astronomical Union
The International Astronomical Union (IAU; Union astronomique internationale, UAI) is an international non-governmental organization (INGO) with the objective of advancing astronomy in all aspects, including promoting astronomical research, outreach, education, and development through global cooperation.
See Kepler-27 and International Astronomical Union
Kelvin
The kelvin, symbol K, is the base unit of measurement for temperature in the International System of Units (SI).
Kepler Input Catalog
The Kepler Input Catalog (or KIC) is a publicly searchable database of roughly 13.2 million targets used for the Kepler Spectral Classification Program (SCP) and Kepler.
See Kepler-27 and Kepler Input Catalog
Kepler object of interest
A Kepler object of interest (KOI) is a star observed by the Kepler space telescope that is suspected of hosting one or more transiting planets. Kepler-27 and Kepler object of interest are Kepler objects of interest.
See Kepler-27 and Kepler object of interest
Kepler-27
Kepler-27 is a star in the northern constellation of Cygnus, the swan. Kepler-27 and Kepler-27 are 2MASS objects, Cygnus (constellation), g-type main-sequence stars, Kepler objects of interest, planetary systems with three confirmed planets and planetary transit variables.
NASA Exoplanet Archive
The NASA Exoplanet Archive is an online astronomical exoplanet catalog and data service that collects and serves public data that support the search for and characterization of extra-solar planets (exoplanets) and their host stars.
See Kepler-27 and NASA Exoplanet Archive
Planetary equilibrium temperature
The planetary equilibrium temperature is a theoretical temperature that a planet would be if it were in radiative equilibrium, typically under the assumption that it radiates as a black body being heated only by its parent star.
See Kepler-27 and Planetary equilibrium temperature
Star
A star is a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by self-gravity.
The Astrophysical Journal
The Astrophysical Journal (ApJ) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of astrophysics and astronomy, established in 1895 by American astronomers George Ellery Hale and James Edward Keeler.
See Kepler-27 and The Astrophysical Journal
2MASS
The Two Micron All-Sky Survey, or 2MASS, was an astronomical survey of the whole sky in infrared light. Kepler-27 and 2MASS are 2MASS objects.
