No Evidence for More Earth-sized Planets in the Habitable Zone of Kepler's M versus FGK Stars
Reliable detections of Earth-sized planets in the habitable zone remain elusive in the Kepler sample, even for M dwarfs. The Kepler sample was once thought to contain a considerable number of M-dwarf stars ( T _eff < 4000 K), which hosted enough Earth-sized ([0.5, 1.5] R _⊕ ) planets to estimate...
