Combining Transit and RV: A Synthesized Population Model

Michelle Kunimoto, Steve Bryson

We present a framework for estimating exoplanet occurrence rates by synthesizing constraints from radial velocity and transit surveys simultaneously. We employ approximate Bayesian…

The Occurrence of Rocky Habitable Zone Planets Around Solar-Like Stars from Kepler Data

Steve Bryson, Michelle Kunimoto, Ravi K. Kopparapu +79

We present occurrence rates for rocky planets in the habitable zones (HZ) of main-sequence dwarf stars based on the Kepler DR25 planet candidate catalog and Gaia-based stellar prop…

Reliability Correction is Key for Robust Kepler Occurrence Rates

Steve Bryson, Jeffrey L. Coughlin, Michelle Kunimoto +1

The Kepler DR25 planet candidate catalog was produced using an automated method of planet candidate identification based on various tests. These tests were tuned to obtain a reason…

Comparing Approximate Bayesian Computation with the Poisson-Likelihood Method for Exoplanet Occurrence Rates

Michelle Kunimoto, Steve Bryson

We present Kepler exoplanet occurrence rates inferred with approximate Bayesian computation (ABC). By using the same planet catalogue, stellar sample, and characterization of compl…

Searching the Entirety of Kepler Data. II. Occurrence Rate Estimates for FGK Stars

Michelle Kunimoto, Jaymie M. Matthews

We present exoplanet occurrence rates estimated with approximate Bayesian computation for planets with radii between 0.5 and 16 and orbital periods between 0.78 and…

Searching the Entirety of Kepler Data. I. 17 New Planet Candidates Including 1 Habitable Zone World

Michelle Kunimoto, Jaymie M. Matthews, Henry Ngo

We present the results of an independent search of all ~200,000 stars observed over the four year Kepler mission (Q1-Q17) for multiplanet systems, using a three-transit minimum det…
