The Occurrence of Rocky Habitable Zone Planets Around Solar-Like Stars from Kepler Data
Steve Bryson, Michelle Kunimoto, Ravi K. Kopparapu +79
We present occurrence rates for rocky planets in the habitable zones (HZ) of main-sequence dwarf stars based on the Kepler DR25 planet candidate catalog and Gaia-based stellar prop…
The same frequency of planets inside and outside open clusters of stars
Søren Meibom, Guillermo Torres, Francois Fressin +16
Most stars and their planets form in open clusters. Over 95 per cent of such clusters have stellar densities too low (less than a hundred stars per cubic parsec) to withstand inter…
Kepler-22b: A 2.4 Earth-radius Planet in the Habitable Zone of a Sun-like Star
William J. Borucki, David G. Koch, Natalie Batalha +80
A search of the time-series photometry from NASA's Kepler spacecraft reveals a transiting planet candidate orbiting the 11th magnitude G5 dwarf KIC 10593626 with a period of 290 da…
Spin-Orbit Alignment for the Circumbinary Planet Host Kepler-16A
Joshua N. Winn, Simon Albrecht, John Asher Johnson +31
Kepler-16 is an eccentric low-mass eclipsing binary with a circumbinary transiting planet. Here we investigate the angular momentum of the primary star, based on Kepler photometry…
Characteristics of planetary candidates observed by Kepler, II: Analysis of the first four months of data
William J. Borucki, David G. Koch, Gibor Basri +63
On 1 February 2011 the Kepler Mission released data for 156,453 stars observed from the beginning of the science observations on 2 May through 16 September 2009. There are 1235 pla…
Characteristics of Kepler Planetary Candidates Based on the First Data Set: The Majority are Found to be Neptune-Size and Smaller
William J. Borucki
In the spring of 2009, the Kepler Mission commenced high-precision photometry on nearly 156,000 stars to determine the frequency and characteristics of small exoplanets, conduct a…
