Extracting the Heliographic Coordinates of Coronal Rays using Images from WISPR/Parker Solar Probe
P. C. Liewer, J. Qiu, F. Ark +5
The Wide-field Imager for Solar Probe (WISPR) onboard Parker Solar Probe (PSP), observing in white light, has a fixed angular field of view, extending from 13.5 degree to 108 degre…
A Search for Exozodiacal Clouds with Kepler
Christopher C. Stark, Alan P. Boss, Alycia J. Weinberger +10
Planets embedded within dust disks may drive the formation of large scale clumpy dust structures by trapping dust into resonant orbits. Detection and subsequent modeling of the dus…
Relationship between low and high frequencies in Delta Scuti stars: Photometric Kepler and spectroscopic analyses of the rapid rotator KIC 8054146
M. Breger, L. Fossati, L. Balona +9
Two years of Kepler data of KIC 8054146 (delta Sct/gamma Dor hybrid) revealed 349 statistically significant frequencies between 0.54 and 191.36 c/d (6.3 microHz to 2.21 mHz). The 1…
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…
Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler, III: Analysis of the First 16 Months of Data
Natalie M. Batalha, Jason F. Rowe, Stephen T. Bryson +69
New transiting planet candidates are identified in sixteen months (May 2009 - September 2010) of data from the Kepler spacecraft. Nearly five thousand periodic transit-like signals…
Detection of Potential Transit Signals in the First Three Quarters of Kepler Mission Data
Peter Tenenbaum, Jessie L. Christiansen, Jon M. Jenkins +22
We present the results of a search for potential transit signals in the first three quarters of photometry data acquired by the Kepler Mission. The targets of the search include 15…
Transit Timing Observations from Kepler: IV. Confirmation of 4 Multiple Planet Systems by Simple Physical Models
Daniel C. Fabrycky, Eric B. Ford, Jason H. Steffen +31
Eighty planetary systems of two or more planets are known to orbit stars other than the Sun. For most, the data can be sufficiently explained by non-interacting Keplerian orbits, s…
Fast core rotation in red-giant stars revealed by gravity-dominated mixed modes
Paul G. Beck, Josefina Montalban, Thomas Kallinger +21
When the core hydrogen is exhausted during stellar evolution, the central region of a star contracts and the outer envelope expands and cools, giving rise to a red giant, in which…
Kepler-21b: A 1.6REarth Planet Transiting the Bright Oscillating F Subgiant Star HD 179070
Steve B. Howell, Jason F. Rowe, Stephen T. Bryson +63
We present Kepler observations of the bright (V=8.3), oscillating star HD 179070. The observations show transit-like events which reveal that the star is orbited every 2.8 days by…
Kepler-16: A Transiting Circumbinary Planet
Laurance R. Doyle, Joshua A. Carter, Daniel C. Fabrycky +46
We report the detection of a planet whose orbit surrounds a pair of low-mass stars. Data from the Kepler spacecraft reveal transits of the planet across both stars, in addition to…
The Kepler-19 System: A Transiting 2.2 R_Earth Planet and a Second Planet Detected via Transit Timing Variations
Sarah Ballard, Daniel Fabrycky, Francois Fressin +28
We present the discovery of the Kepler-19 planetary system, which we first identified from a 9.3-day periodic transit signal in the Kepler photometry. From high-resolution spectros…
A Closely-Packed System of Low-Mass, Low-Density Planets Transiting Kepler-11
Jack J. Lissauer, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Eric B. Ford +36
When an extrasolar planet passes in front of its star (transits), its radius can be measured from the decrease in starlight and its orbital period from the time between transits. M…
Kepler Science Operations
Michael R. Haas, Natalie M. Batalha, Steve T. Bryson +13
Kepler's primary mission is a search for earth-size exoplanets in the habitable zone of late-type stars using the transit method. To effectively accomplish this mission, Kepler orb…
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…
Selection, Prioritization, and Characteristics of Kepler Target Stars
N. M. Batalha, W. J. Borucki, D. G. Koch +8
The Kepler Mission began its 3.5-year photometric monitoring campaign in May 2009 on a select group of approximately 150,000 stars. The stars were chosen from the ~half million in…
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 Short Cadence Data
Ronald L. Gilliland, J. M. Jenkins, W. J. Borucki +12
The Kepler Mission offers two options for observations -- either Long Cadence (LC) used for the bulk of core mission science, or Short Cadence (SC) which is used for applications s…
