Change

TRAPPIST-1's star gains a dataset of its whole system, "Habitable zone": a green band in the plane of the planets' orbits, listed on the system's card (README).

The system page as it opens, and with the dataset selected

Sources and processing

  • Source: the Habitable Zone Gallery's JSON product (Kane & Gelino 2012); seven rows kept.
  • Processing: four distances drawn as flat rings on the orbits' mean plane.
  • Meaning and limits: calculated (Kopparapu et al. 2013, 2014), not observed; the star is 34 K below the model's range.

Prepared assets

  • Baked the zone and the star (images reused).
  • Published trappist-1-habitable-zone and trappist-1.
  • Committed both inventories, no baked files.

Evidence and limits

Proves the change: headless on a local dev server, the system page opens on "Off" with no plane mounted. Selected, the plane is whole at 42 million km and gone within 8 million km of the star.

Clean: affected tests; objects, bake, renderer and site typechecks; ESLint; source checks.

Limits: not tested on an iPad. A phone's picker still names "Off" as "Color".

PR rules: titles, PDS4 provenance and ISO plain language.
