Is density of earth-like/water worlds higher closer to the galaxy plane?

[Droid_orat]

I am have just started collecting data from F, G and K stars moving vertically to test id distance from the plane affecting the density. It is too early to tell on the very limited sample so far.

I was wondering is anyone has tested this?

Please note I am not talking about the probability of finding these world - it is clearly higher closer to the pane on a larger number of stars.

Not quite sure I understand what you're interested in.

You specifically ask about *density*. If you understand this as #ELWs per ly-cube then it seems clear to me that the density is higher closer to the Y=0 plane, as the star-density in general is highest there, and consequently also the ELW-density.

Regarding the *probability* (which you specifically not are talking about) as in #ELWs per #x systems: This seems to be a much more interesting question, and I could only speculate on how that's modeled in ED.

Really not quite sure what you are asking myself, but if you are hunting ELWs, start with the system type instead of star class. The last part of the system name XX-X D#-## The "D" part is what you are looking for. "C" systems have them as well...but not near as frequently. Whether you are 1000ly above/below the "0" plane or right on it (as I do). As for the density of ELW per # of systems being greater ...I believe it has alot more to do with pure randomness no matter where you are..They DEFINITELY come in groups and clusters though, you will rarely find a lone ELW unless you are just out on the very fringes of the galaxy.

From my own experience and talking with others, searching this way, (no matter where your location) the average is 1 ELW for about every 65 systems searched. You could probably increase this a bit by narrowing it further and only searching F class and A8 and A9 stars. While it is true G and K stars have a possibility, it is greater if they are in a "C" type system I believe. When you are trying to find a needle in a haystack, you first start by removing as much hay as possible...

Thank you for all responses guys. Apologies for not being clear, but your responses perfectly gave me what I wanted to know.

Thanks for sharing.
