- For the nominal baseline WFIRST design and a fiducial planet mass function, we predict that a total of ~1400 bound exoplanets with mass greater than ~0.1 M ⊕ should be detected, including ~200 with mass less than/= 3 M ⊕. WFIRST should have sensitivity to planets with mass down to ~0.02 M ⊕. https://news.osu.edu/new-nasa-mission-could-find-more-than-1000-planets/ 5 comments science
