Mass-radius diagram of exoplanets with mass-radius measurements better than 25% from TEPCat (Southworth 2011) and for our candidates, color-coded by their equilibrium temperature. Two-layer models from Zeng et al. (2016) are displayed with different lines and colors. Here, “Earth-like” refers to a composition of 30% Fe and 70% MgSiO3. The 2% H2 line represents a composition consisting of a 98% Earth-like rocky core and a 2% H2 envelope by mass, while the 49% H2O + 2% H2 line corresponds to a composition comprising a 49% Earth-like rocky core, a 49% H2O layer, and a 2% H2 envelope by mass. Earth and Venus are identified in this plot as pale blue and orange circles, respectively.
