Talk:HAT-P-2 b

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It has been proposed that HAT-P-2 b be renamed and moved to HAT-P-2b, along with other similarly named articles. Please discuss at Talk:XO-1 b rather than here.

The proposed move should have been noted at Wikipedia:Requested moves.
Discussion to support or oppose the move should be on this talk page, usually under the heading "Requested move." If, after a few days, a clear consensus for the page move is reached, please move the article and remove this notice, or request further assistance.

[edit] Why cross-reference?

Two significant planets were announced within a day or two of each other. This is worth noting. I inititally mistook them for the same discovery, and I doubt I am the only one.

Also the HAT-P tag is a new development, as is Corot-exo. Making an apparent link between very different planets. We can condfidently expect a lot more, at least from COROT, at which point it might be worth doing a page or three about discovery methods. --GwydionM 21:47, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The data doesn't looks right

If it's about 8 Jupiter's radius and is very closer than it's parent star, how it could be just 1.18 Jupiter's radius? It should be much larger.

And it don't sound reasonable for a planet with an orbital distance between Mercury and Mars orbit it's star in just 5 days and 15 hours. It's a large path to travel in so few time. With that velocity the planet would escape the system. Victorwss 20:31, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Looks like some data were mixed with Corot-exo-1b data. Victorwss 21:03, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
