Thermal Phase Variations of WASP-12b: Defying Predictions
N. B. Cowan, P. Machalek, B. Croll +5
[Abridged] We report Warm Spitzer full-orbit phase observations of WASP-12b at 3.6 and 4.5 micron. We are able to measure the transit depths, eclipse depths, thermal and ellipsoida…
The First Kepler Mission Planet Confirmed With The Hobby-Eberly Telescope: Kepler-15b, a Hot Jupiter Enriched In Heavy Elements
Michael Endl, Phillip J. MacQueen, William D. Cochran +30
We report the discovery of Kepler-15b, a new transiting exoplanet detected by NASA's Kepler mission. The transit signal with a period of 4.94 days was detected in the quarter 1 (Q1…
Kepler-14b: A massive hot Jupiter transiting an F star in a close visual binary
Lars A. Buchhave, David W. Latham, Joshua A. Carter +46
We present the discovery of a hot Jupiter transiting an F star in a close visual (0.3" sky projected angular separation) binary system. The dilution of the host star's light by the…
Planet Occurrence within 0.25 AU of Solar-type Stars from Kepler
Andrew W. Howard, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Stephen T. Bryson +59
We report the distribution of planets as a function of planet radius (R_p), orbital period (P), and stellar effective temperature (Teff) for P < 50 day orbits around GK stars. Thes…
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…
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…
