Orbital distance vs. planet radii. This plot updates a widely shared figure created by Z. Berta-Thompson, to now include our new simulation results. Kepler planet candidates from Thompson et al. (2018) are shown in blue, our simulated 2-minute cadence detections in orange, and planets detected using other telescopes in black. The size of the circle is proportional to the transit depth. A subset of nearby planets are marked. Data were extracted from the Exoplanet Archive (Akeson et al. 2013). Three planets in our simulation orbit stars closer than the nearest known transiting planet system HD 219134.
