Kepler-62: A five-planet system with planets of 1.4 and 1.6 Earth radii in the Habitable Zone
W. J. Borucki, E. Agol, F. Fressin +62
We present the detection of five planets -- Kepler-62b, c, d, e, and f -- of size 1.31, 0.54, 1.95, 1.61 and 1.41 Earth radii, orbiting a K2V star at periods of 5.7, 12.4, 18.2, 12…
The Mass of KOI-94d and a Relation for Planet Radius, Mass, and Incident Flux
Lauren M. Weiss, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Jason F. Rowe +15
We measure the mass of a modestly irradiated giant planet, KOI-94d. We wish to determine whether this planet, which is in a 22-day orbit and receives 2700 times as much incident fl…
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…
The Occurrence and Mass Distribution of Close-in Super-Earths, Neptunes, and Jupiters
Andrew W. Howard, Geoffrey W. Marcy, John Asher Johnson +7
The questions of how planets form and how common Earth-like planets are can be addressed by measuring the distribution of exoplanet masses and orbital periods. We report the occurr…
On the Spin-Orbit Misalignment of the XO-3 Exoplanetary System
Joshua N. Winn, John Asher Johnson, Daniel Fabrycky +8
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the 2009 Feb. 2 transit of the exoplanet XO-3b. The new data show that the planetary orbital axis and stellar rotation axis…
