One @NASAKepler Co-I did astroseismology (which needs 2PPM) reduced for one star (taking out noise) - already getting 5PPM! Fantastic!2:46 PM Jun 9thfrom web
Dwarf stars (sun-like) are low noise! This is additional data to info found from CoRoT and means TESS targets will find Earths! @NASAKepler2:45 PM Jun 9thfrom web
Already without systematic noise and artifact removal, the Photometric Precision is already within 50% of design! Good News @NASAKepler2:44 PM Jun 9thfrom web
