One of the corrolation diagrams featured on the iPod Touch and iPhone App “Exoplanet”.
The Host Star Metallicity represents the exoplanets’ stars’ (exoplanets meaning the planets outside our solar system) metallicity, meaning the amount of light which is given off of the star itself. The Eccentricity represents the host stars’ movement: How many degrees it moves away from a center point.
Each red dot represents one host star of an exoplanet.
