On The Relative Sizes of Planets Within Kepler Multiple Candidate Systems
David R. Ciardi, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Eric B. Ford +5
We present a study of the relative sizes of planets within the multiple candidate systems discovered with the mission. We have compared the size of each planet to the size…
Photometrically derived masses and radii of the planet and star in the TrES-2 system
Thomas Barclay, Daniel Huber, Jason F. Rowe +16
We measure the mass and radius of the star and planet in the TrES-2 system using 2.7 years of observations by the Kepler spacecraft. The light curve shows evidence for ellipsoidal…
2011 HM102: Discovery of a High-Inclination L5 Neptune Trojan in the Search for a post-Pluto New Horizons Target
Alex H. Parker, Marc W. Buie, David J. Osip +20
We present the discovery of a long-term stable L5 (trailing) Neptune Trojan in data acquired to search for candidate Trans-Neptunian objects for the New Horizons spacecraft to fly…
Kepler-47: A Transiting Circumbinary Multi-Planet System
Jerome A. Orosz, William F. Welsh, Joshua A. Carter +36
We report the detection of Kepler-47, a system consisting of two planets orbiting around an eclipsing pair of stars. The inner and outer planets have radii 3.0 and 4.6 times that o…
The Neptune-Sized Circumbinary Planet Kepler-38b
Jerome A. Orosz, William F. Welsh, Joshua A. Carter +28
We discuss the discovery and characterization of the circumbinary planet Kepler-38b. The stellar binary is single-lined, with a period of 18.8 days, and consists of a moderately ev…
Alignment of the stellar spin with the orbits of a three-planet system
Roberto Sanchis-Ojeda, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Josh N. Winn +16
The Sun's equator and the planets' orbital planes are nearly aligned, which is presumably a consequence of their formation from a single spinning gaseous disk. For exoplanetary sys…
