Detection of Potential Transit Signals in the First Twelve Quarters of Kepler Mission Data
Peter Tenenbaum, Jon M. Jenkins, Shawn Seader +26
We present the results of a search for potential transit signals in the first three years of photometry data acquired by the Kepler Mission. The targets of the search include 112,3…
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…
The Derivation, Properties and Value of Kepler's Combined Differential Photometric Precision
Jessie L. Christiansen, Jon M. Jenkins, Thomas S. Barclay +11
The Kepler Mission is searching for Earth-size planets orbiting solar-like stars by simultaneously observing >160,000 stars to detect sequences of transit events in the photometric…
Kepler-36: A Pair of Planets with Neighboring Orbits and Dissimilar Densities
Joshua A. Carter, Eric Agol, William J. Chaplin +43
In the Solar system the planets' compositions vary with orbital distance, with rocky planets in close orbits and lower-density gas giants in wider orbits. The detection of close-in…
Seismic evidence for a rapidly rotating core in a lower-giant-branch star observed with Kepler
S. Deheuvels, R. A. Garcia, W. J. Chaplin +24
Rotation is expected to have an important influence on the structure and the evolution of stars. However, the mechanisms of angular momentum transport in stars remain theoretically…
Atmospheric parameters of 82 red giants in the Kepler field
A. O. Thygesen, S. Frandsen, H. Bruntt +10
Context: Accurate fundamental parameters of stars are essential for the asteroseismic analysis of data from the NASA Kepler mission. Aims: We aim at determining accurate atmospheri…
