Born Dry in the Photo-Evaporation Desert: Kepler's Ultra-Short-Period Planets Formed Water-Poor
Eric D. Lopez
Recent surveys have uncovered an exciting new population of ultra-short-period (USP) planets with orbital periods less than a day. These planets typically have radii <1.5 Earth rad…
How formation time-scales affect the period dependence of the transition between rocky super-Earths and gaseous sub-Neptunes and implications for
Eric D. Lopez, Ken Rice
One of the most significant advances by NASA's Mission was the discovery of an abundant new population of highly irradiated planets with sizes between the Earth…
Kepler-21b: A rocky planet around a V = 8.25 magnitude star
Mercedes Lopez-Morales, Raphaelle D. Haywood, Jeffrey L. Coughlin +36
HD 179070, aka Kepler-21, is a V = 8.25 F6IV star and the brightest exoplanet host discovered by Kepler. An early detailed analysis by Howell et al. (2012) of the first thirteen mo…
The Orbit and Mass of the Third Planet in the Kepler-56 System
Oderah Justin Otor, Benjamin T. Montet, John Asher Johnson +20
While the vast majority of multiple-planet systems have their orbital angular momentum axes aligned with the spin axis of their host star, Kepler-56 is an exception: its two transi…
A 1.9 Earth radius rocky planet and the discovery of a non-transiting planet in the Kepler-20 system
Lars A. Buchhave, Courtney D. Dressing, Xavier Dumusque +35
Kepler-20 is a solar-type star (V = 12.5) hosting a compact system of five transiting planets, all packed within the orbital distance of Mercury in our own Solar System. A transiti…
A Dynamical Analysis of the Kepler-80 System of Five Transiting Planets
Mariah G. MacDonald, Darin Ragozzine, Daniel C. Fabrycky +10
Kepler has discovered hundreds of systems with multiple transiting exoplanets which hold tremendous potential both individually and collectively for understanding the formation and…
