Modeling Kepler transit light curves as false positives: Rejection of blend scenarios for Kepler-9, and validation of Kepler-9d, a super-Earth-size planet in a multiple system
Guillermo Torres, François Fressin, Natalie M. Batalha +26
Light curves from the Kepler Mission contain valuable information on the nature of the phenomena producing the transit-like signals. To assist in exploring the possibility that the…
Properties of Bare Strange Stars Associated with Surface Electric Fields
Rodrigo Picanço Negreiros, Igor N. Mishustin, Stefan Schramm +1
In this paper we investigate the electrodynamic surface properties of bare strange quark stars. The surfaces of such objects are characterized by the formation of ultra-high electr…
Five Kepler target stars that show multiple transiting exoplanet candidates
Jason H. Steffen, Natalie M. Batalha, William J. Borucki +27
We present and discuss five candidate exoplanetary systems identified with the Kepler spacecraft. These five systems show transits from multiple exoplanet candidates. Should these…
Sensitivity analysis of random two-body interactions
Calvin W. Johnson, Plamen G. Krastev
The input to the configuration-interaction shell model includes many dozens or hundreds of independent two-body matrix elements. Previous studies have shown that when fitting to ex…
