X-rays from solar system objects
Anil Bhardwaj, Ronald F. Elsner, G. Randall Gladstone +11
During the last few years our knowledge about the X-ray emission from bodies within the solar system has significantly improved. Several new solar system objects are now known to s…
Characteristics of Kepler Planetary Candidates Based on the First Data Set: The Majority are Found to be Neptune-Size and Smaller
William J. Borucki
In the spring of 2009, the Kepler Mission commenced high-precision photometry on nearly 156,000 stars to determine the frequency and characteristics of small exoplanets, conduct a…
Kepler Mission Design, Realized Photometric Performance, and Early Science
David G. Koch, William J. Borucki, Gibor Basri +44
The Kepler Mission, launched on Mar 6, 2009 was designed with the explicit capability to detect Earth-size planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars using the transit photo…
Kepler Science Operations
Michael R. Haas, Natalie M. Batalha, Steve T. Bryson +13
Kepler's primary mission is a search for earth-size exoplanets in the habitable zone of late-type stars using the transit method. To effectively accomplish this mission, Kepler orb…
Instrument Performance in Kepler's First Months
Douglas A. Caldwell, Jeffery J. Kolodziejczak, Jeffrey E. Van Cleve +16
The Kepler Mission relies on precise differential photometry to detect the 80 parts per million (ppm) signal from an Earth-Sun equivalent transit. Such precision requires superb in…
