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…
Solar-like oscillations in cluster stars
D. Stello, S. Basu, T. R. Bedding +21
We present a brief overview of the history of attempts to obtain a clear detection of solar-like oscillations in cluster stars, and discuss the results on the first clear detection…
Kepler Mission Design, Realized Photometric Performance, and Early Science
David G. Koch, William J. Borucki, Gibor Basri +44
The Kepler Mission, launched on Mar 6, 2009 was designed with the explicit capability to detect Earth-size planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars using the transit photo…
Discovery and Rossiter-McLaughlin Effect of Exoplanet Kepler-8b
Jon M. Jenkins, William J. Borucki, David G. Koch +50
We report the discovery and the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect of Kepler-8b, a transiting planet identified by the NASA Kepler Mission. Kepler photometry and Keck-HIRES radial velociti…
Photometric Variability in Kepler Target Stars: The Sun Among Stars -- A First Look
Gibor Basri, Lucianne M. Walkowicz, Natalie Batalha +10
The Kepler mission provides an exciting opportunity to study the lightcurves of stars with unprecedented precision and continuity of coverage. This is the first look at a large sam…
Selection, Prioritization, and Characteristics of Kepler Target Stars
N. M. Batalha, W. J. Borucki, D. G. Koch +8
The Kepler Mission began its 3.5-year photometric monitoring campaign in May 2009 on a select group of approximately 150,000 stars. The stars were chosen from the ~half million in…
