Validation of small Kepler transiting planet candidates in or near the habitable zone

Guillermo Torres, Stephen R. Kane, Jason F. Rowe +16

A main goal of NASA's Kepler Mission is to establish the frequency of potentially habitable Earth-size planets (eta Earth). Relatively few such candidates identified by the mission…

Exclusion of Stellar Companions to Exoplanet Host Stars

Justin M. Wittrock, Stephen R. Kane, Elliott P. Horch +3

Given the frequency of stellar multiplicity in the solar neighborhood, it is important to study the impacts this can have on exoplanet properties and orbital dynamics. There have b…
