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…
Transit Timing Observations from Kepler: II. Confirmation of Two Multiplanet Systems via a Non-parametric Correlation Analysis
Eric B. Ford, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Jason H. Steffen +48
We present a new method for confirming transiting planets based on the combination of transit timingn variations (TTVs) and dynamical stability. Correlated TTVs provide evidence th…
Verification of the Kepler Input Catalog from Asteroseismology of Solar-type Stars
G. A. Verner, W. J. Chaplin, S. Basu +25
We calculate precise stellar radii and surface gravities from the asteroseismic analysis of over 500 solar-type pulsating stars observed by the Kepler space telescope. These physic…
Kepler-10c, a 2.2-Earth radius transiting planet in a multiple system
Francois Fressin, Guillermo Torres, Jean-Michel Desert +30
The Kepler Mission has recently announced the discovery of Kepler-10 b, the smallest exoplanet discovered to date and the first rocky planet found by the spacecraft. A second, 45-d…
Characteristics of planetary candidates observed by Kepler, II: Analysis of the first four months of data
William J. Borucki, David G. Koch, Gibor Basri +63
On 1 February 2011 the Kepler Mission released data for 156,453 stars observed from the beginning of the science observations on 2 May through 16 September 2009. There are 1235 pla…
KOI-54: The Kepler Discovery of Tidally-Excited Pulsations and Brightenings in a Highly Eccentric Binary
William F. Welsh, Jerome A. Orosz, Conny Aerts +27
Kepler observations of the star HD 187091 (KID 8112039, hereafter KOI-54) revealed a remarkable light curve exhibiting sharp periodic brightening events every 41.8 days with a supe…
Solar-like oscillations in red giants observed with Kepler: comparison of global oscillation parameters from different methods
S. Hekker, Y. Elsworth, J. De Ridder +20
The large number of stars for which uninterrupted high-precision photometric timeseries data are being collected with \textit{Kepler} and CoRoT initiated the development of automat…
Characteristics of Kepler Planetary Candidates Based on the First Data Set: The Majority are Found to be Neptune-Size and Smaller
William J. Borucki
In the spring of 2009, the Kepler Mission commenced high-precision photometry on nearly 156,000 stars to determine the frequency and characteristics of small exoplanets, conduct a…
Kepler Mission Design, Realized Photometric Performance, and Early Science
David G. Koch, William J. Borucki, Gibor Basri +44
The Kepler Mission, launched on Mar 6, 2009 was designed with the explicit capability to detect Earth-size planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars using the transit photo…
Discovery and Rossiter-McLaughlin Effect of Exoplanet Kepler-8b
Jon M. Jenkins, William J. Borucki, David G. Koch +50
We report the discovery and the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect of Kepler-8b, a transiting planet identified by the NASA Kepler Mission. Kepler photometry and Keck-HIRES radial velociti…
Overview of the Kepler Science Processing Pipeline
Jon M. Jenkins, Douglas A. Caldwell, Hema Chandrasekaran +27
The Kepler Mission Science Operations Center (SOC) performs several critical functions including managing the ~156,000 target stars, associated target tables, science data compress…
Initial Characteristics of Kepler Long Cadence Data For Detecting Transiting Planets
Jon M. Jenkins, Douglas A. Caldwell, Hema Chandrasekaran +15
The Kepler Mission seeks to detect Earth-size planets transiting solar-like stars in its ~115 deg^2 field of view over the course of its 3.5 year primary mission by monitoring the…
