TOI-3235 b: a transiting giant planet around an M4 dwarf star
Melissa J. Hobson, Andrés Jordán, E. M. Bryant +34
We present the discovery of TOI-3235 b, a short-period Jupiter orbiting an M-dwarf with a stellar mass close to the critical mass at which stars transition from partially to fully…
Low False-Positive Rate of Kepler Candidates Estimated From A Combination Of Spitzer And Follow-Up Observations
Jean-Michel Désert, David Charbonneau, Guillermo Torres +13
(Abridged) NASA's Kepler mission has provided several thousand transiting planet candidates, yet only a small subset have been confirmed as true planets. Therefore, the most fundam…
A Consistent Orbital Stability Analysis for the GJ 581 System
David A. Joiner, Cesar Sul, Diana Dragomir +2
We apply a combination of N-body modeling techniques and automated data fitting with Monte Carlo Markov Chain uncertainty analysis of Keplerian orbital models to radial velocity da…
The Transiting Circumbinary Planets Kepler-34 and Kepler-35
William F. Welsh, Jerome A. Orosz, Joshua A. Carter +43
Most Sun-like stars in the Galaxy reside in gravitationally-bound pairs of stars called "binary stars". While long anticipated, the existence of a "circumbinary planet" orbiting su…
KEPLER's First Rocky Planet: Kepler-10b
Natalie M. Batalha, William J. Borucki, Stephen T. Bryson +49
NASA's Kepler Mission uses transit photometry to determine the frequency of earth-size planets in or near the habitable zone of Sun-like stars. The mission reached a milestone towa…
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…
