Semi-Major axis
The semi-major axis of 8.213 AU cannot be correct for a period of ~6.8 days. The paper refers to this as Scaled semimajor axis a/R and is not in AUs. I cannot find a ref to the true semi-major axis and leave it to someone more knowledgeable to correct it. 66.27.66.8 (talk) 02:21, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the catch. I'll see what I can do about it. --Starstriker7 - public(talk) 04:33, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I couldn't find a ref either. I've commented out the information until the semimajor axis is deduced. --Starstriker7 - public(talk) 04:38, 19 July 2011 (UTC)


 * a/R is unitless. The R is the radius of the star. So the semi-major axis would be about 8 times the value of R. That *should* be mentioned in the paper somewhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.232.109.85 (talk) 00:57, 20 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the clarification. I've added something about it in the Characteristics section. --Starstriker7 - public(talk) 01:20, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Alternative designations
On checking the reference given for the alternative designations, I find only the list of alternative designations for the star. Clicking through to the page for the planet gives only the Kepler-14b designation. Can we have a reference which shows these designations in usage for the planet? My expectation is that the only alternative designation would be a KOI identifier. Icalanise (talk) 16:59, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean. That was definitely very OR of me. :P
 * I don't recall seeing even the KOI name for the planet referenced anywhere. I'll remove the information for now until I can find something to back it up. --Starstriker7 - public(talk) 19:48, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Well the host star has the designation KOI-98, so the expected designation would presumably be KOI-98.01. There is an entry KOI-98.01 in the Kepler planet candidates table which appears to correspond to this object and I personally would be happy with this identification, but whether that is going too far into original research is another matter. Icalanise (talk) 20:11, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Other sources already refer to the star as KOI-98, so I don't think it would be too far of a venture to use the Kepler database source. Thanks for noting that; I'd forgotten to check Kepler's actual website. :P --Starstriker7 - public(talk) 06:32, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
