I didn't know that ELWs can be orbiting T Tauri stars and didn't expect that to be possible. So I was very surprised to find these two. Now I learned, that there is indeed a small number of these stars with ELWs, but have not found information about any with more than one ELW yet, so maybe this is a first time discovery?
Hey, that one looks pretty interesting. Say, does the planet that the ELW orbits as its moon have at atmosphere?Three pale blue dots on my latest excursion:
Planet name: NGC 6866 SECTOR DB-X D1-6 A 5 A
Distance from Sol: 4819
Star Class: F2 VB
First, welcome to the list commander!
Yep, I believe it is the first time such a find has been reported. Nicely done! More than one Earth-like in a same system is rare enough on its own, and I believe the majority of them are binary planets. Which makes sense, as it's easier to "fit" two bodies inside the habitable zone of a star if they are co-orbiting each other. Your two worlds have rather close orbits, with semi-major axes of 0.8 and 0.88 AU, but their arguments of periapsis are different enough I believe.
I didn't know that ELWs can be orbiting T Tauri stars and didn't expect that to be possible.
Nice find, I've seen terraforming candidates orbiting T Tauris, but never an actual earth like.
Thanks Marx!Also, welcome back, Rollo!
