First Kepler results on compact pulsators I. Survey target selection and the first pulsators
R. H. Ãstensen, R. Silvotti, S. Charpinet +25
We present results from the first two quarters of a survey to search for pulsations in compact stellar objects with the Kepler spacecraft. The survey sample and the various methods…
The asteroseismic potential of Kepler: first results for solar-type stars
W. J. Chaplin, T. Appourchaux, Y. Elsworth +105
We present preliminary asteroseismic results from Kepler on three G-type stars. The observations, made at one-minute cadence during the first 33.5d of science operations, reveal hi…
Kepler Asteroseismology Program: Introduction and First Results
Ronald L. Gilliland, T. M. Brown, J. Christensen-Dalsgaard +32
Asteroseismology involves probing the interiors of stars and quantifying their global properties, such as radius and age, through observationsof normal modes of oscillation. The te…
Automated classification of variable stars in the asteroseismology program of the Kepler space mission
J. Blomme, J. Debosscher, J. De Ridder +13
We present the first results of the application of supervised classification methods to the Kepler Q1 long-cadence light curves of a subsample of 2288 stars measured in the asteros…
Initial Characteristics of Kepler Short Cadence Data
Ronald L. Gilliland, J. M. Jenkins, W. J. Borucki +12
The Kepler Mission offers two options for observations -- either Long Cadence (LC) used for the bulk of core mission science, or Short Cadence (SC) which is used for applications s…
2M1938+4603: A rich, multimode pulsating sdB star with an eclipsing dM companion observed with Kepler
R. H. Ãstensen, E. M. Green, S. Bloemen +16
2M1938+4603 (KIC 9472174) displays a spectacular light curve dominated by a strong reflection effect and rather shallow, grazing eclipses. The orbital period is 0.126 days, the sec…
