An Automated Method to Detect Transiting Circumbinary Planets
Diana Windemuth, Eric Agol, Josh Carter +4
To date a dozen transiting "Tatooines" or circumbinary planets (CBPs) have been discovered, by eye, in the data from the Kepler mission; by contrast, thousands of confirmed circums…
Discovery and Characterization of Kepler-36b
Eric Agol, Joshua A. Carter
We describe the circumstances that led to the discovery of Kepler-36b, and the subsequent characterization of its host planetary system. The Kepler-36 system is remarkable for its…
Validation of Kepler's Multiple Planet Candidates. III: Light Curve Analysis & Announcement of Hundreds of New Multi-planet Systems
Jason F. Rowe, Stephen T. Bryson, Geoffrey W. Marcy +25
The Kepler mission has discovered over 2500 exoplanet candidates in the first two years of spacecraft data, with approximately 40% of them in candidate multi-planet systems. The hi…
Validation of Kepler's Multiple Planet Candidates. II: Refined Statistical Framework and Descriptions of Systems of Special Interest
Jack J. Lissauer, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Stephen T. Bryson +11
We extend the statistical analysis of Lissauer et al. (2012, ApJ 750, 112), which demonstrates that the overwhelming majority of Kepler candidate multiple transiting systems (multi…
Kepler-413b: a slightly misaligned, Neptune-size transiting circumbinary planet
Veselin B. Kostov, Peter R. McCullough, Joshua A. Carter +9
We report the discovery of a transiting, Rp = 4.347+/-0.099REarth, circumbinary planet (CBP) orbiting the Kepler K+M Eclipsing Binary (EB) system KIC 12351927 (Kepler-413) every ~6…
Masses, Radii, and Orbits of Small Kepler Planets: The Transition from Gaseous to Rocky Planets
Geoffrey W. Marcy, Howard Isaacson, Andrew W. Howard +100
We report on the masses, sizes, and orbits of the planets orbiting 22 Kepler stars. There are 49 planet candidates around these stars, including 42 detected through transits and 7…
