(§)

Planets that are also observable with g = 1.0

(†)

The radii of all the listed planets are predicted from the mass. The figures in the parentheses represent the methods to estimate Rp: (1) adopts the mass-radius relation for Mp > 150 MEarth(0.47 MJup); (2) 10 MEarth(0.031 MJup) < Mp ≤ 150 MEarth; and (3) 4 MEarth(0.013 MJup) <Mp ≤ 10 MEarth. See text for details.

(‡)

This column describes whether the planet is located inside or outside the snow line. The snow line distance is estimated by Eq. (17) in Ida & Lin (2005).
