K2-18b has been studied as a potential habitable world that, temperature aside, more closely resembles an ice giant like uranus or neptune than earth. It is the prototype for hycean planets, planets which. K2-18b has a mass of about 8. 6 m⊕, a radius of about 2. 6 r⊕, and an orbital period of 32. 94 earth days1 (montet et al.
It has an equilibrium temperature of ∼280 k with. One of the major developments in the past year has been the first detection of h2o in the atmosphere of the mini-neptune k2-18b orbiting in the habitable-zone of its host star, with an equilibrium. Equilibrium temperature was calculated assuming a bond albedo of 0. 3. Time of inferior conjunction entered under mid-transit time. (cloutier et al. K2-18b was discovered in 2015 by the kepler satellite during its k2 mission phase, when the satellite operated with only two of its four gyroscopes. The planet circles the red dwarf star k2-18, which has.
