List of Unconfirmed Extrasolar Planets - Candidate Transiting Planets

Candidate Transiting Planets

There are several known stars for which potential planetary transits have been observed, however they lack enough follow-up information (such as radial velocity measurements) to rule out other hypotheses, such as the presence of a background eclipsing binary star, or a grazing transit of a larger object.

Famous quotes containing the words candidate and/or planets:

    “The Republicans have a “me too” candidate running on a “yes but” platform, advised by a “has been” staff.”
    —Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)

    “I would sell my life to avoid
    the pain that begins in the crib
    with its bars or perhaps
    with your first breath
    when the planets drill
    your future into you....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
