Some plants, known as hot plants or close-in plants, are easier to study than others because they transit more frequently.
33:14 - 34:46 (01:31)
Summary
Some plants, known as hot plants or close-in plants, are easier to study than others because they transit more frequently. These plants are ideal targets for programs like deep field studies which require long integration times.
