With all of the candidates having periods less than 50 days, I don't think habitability is a very likely aspect. Unsurprisingly, habitability stores are circulating around.

Here I have to quote the UC-Santa Cruz astronomer, recently back from the abovementioned IAU meeting. Calling this the most exciting conference he ever attended, Laughlin adds: Planetary transits are no longer the big deal of the future. They’re the big deal of the right here right now. Spitzer, Epoxi, MOST, HST and CoRoT are firing on all cylinders. The ground-based surveys are delivering bizarre worlds by the dozen. And we’re clearly in the midst of very rapid improvement of our understanding of the atmospheres and interiors of the planets that are being discovered.

I've put in the links (two instead of three). Also, for the record, I should point out that Osmium is a viable ingredient for a CoRoT-Exo-3b model only if the radius turns out to be larger than the reported radius at the ~2 sigma level. Otherwise, it'll have to be finessed with some sort of servomagnet set up. cheers, Greg Hi Hungry4info2,

"The Mu Arae planets (including the hot Neptune on the 9.6-day orbit, see here, here and here) are all present and accounted for." No links =( Greg, I think you forgot some links.
