Know the Planet, Know the Star: Precise Stellar Densities from Kepler Transit Light Curves
Emily Sandford, David Kipping
The properties of a transiting planet's host star are written in its transit light curve. The light curve can reveal the stellar density and the limb darkening profile in addition…
Kepler's Dark Worlds: a Low Albedo for an Ensemble of Neptunian and Terran Exoplanets
Tiffany Jansen, David Kipping
Photometric phase curves provide an important window onto exoplanetary atmospheres and potentially even their surfaces. With similar amplitudes to occultations but far longer basel…
Do planets remember how they formed?
David Kipping
One of the most directly observable features of a transiting multi-planet system is their size-ordering when ranked in orbital separation. Kepler has revealed a rich diversity of o…
HEK VI: On the Dearth of Galilean Analogs in Kepler and the Exomoon Candidate Kepler-1625b I
Alex Teachey, David M. Kipping, Allan R. Schmitt
Exomoons represent an outstanding challenge in modern astronomy, with the potential to provide rich insights into planet formation theory and habitability. In this work, we stack t…
Forecasted masses for seven thousand KOIs
Jingjing Chen, David Kipping
Recent transit surveys have discovered thousands of planetary candidates with directly measured radii, but only a small fraction have measured masses. Planetary mass is crucial in…
Masses of Kepler-46b, c from Transit Timing Variations
Ximena Saad-Olivera, David Nesvorný, David M. Kipping +1
We use 16 quarters of the \textit{Kepler} mission data to analyze the transit timing variations (TTVs) of the extrasolar planet Kepler-46b (KOI-872). Our dynamical fits confirm tha…
