Rational embeddability conjecture for circular spherical divisors

From papers

Let DnD_n be the circular spherical divisor with nn components discussed above. A rational embedding means an embedding of DnD_n into a rational surface. Rational embeddability conjecture. DnD_n is rationally embeddable if and only if DnD_n is anti-canonical. This would characterize anti-canonical circular spherical divisors by rational embeddability; the source notes that all anti-canonical DnD_n embed in CP2#9CP2\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2\# 9\overline{\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}}^2, while the converse is proposed because the only known obstruction rules out embeddings into CP2#kCP2\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2\# k\overline{\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}}^2 for k<9k<9.
