Abstract

So Close and So Different: In our solar system, the rocky planets have very distinct orbits from those of the gas giants. Carter et al. (p. 556 , published online 21 June) report on a planetary system where this pattern does not apply, posing a challenge to theories of planet formation. Data from the Kepler space telescope reveal two planets with radically different densities orbiting the same star with very similar orbital periods. One planet has a rocky Earth-like composition and the other is akin to Neptune.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
