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…
Report of IAU Commission 30 on Radial Velocities (2009-2012)
G. Torres, H. Levato, C. Lovis +11
Brief summaries are given of the following subjects of interest to IAU Commission 30: Large-scale radial-velocity surveys; The role of radial-velocity measurements in studies of st…
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…
An asteroseismic membership study of the red giants in three open clusters observed by Kepler: NGC6791, NGC6819, and NGC6811
D. Stello, S. Meibom, R. L. Gilliland +20
Studying star clusters offers significant advances in stellar astrophysics due to the combined power of having many stars with essentially the same distance, age, and initial compo…
Amplitudes of solar-like oscillations: constraints from red giants in open clusters observed by Kepler
D. Stello, D. Huber, T. Kallinger +20
Scaling relations that link asteroseismic quantities to global stellar properties are important for gaining understanding of the intricate physics that underpins stellar pulsation.…
A New Look at the Old Star Cluster NGC 6791
I. Platais, K. M. Cudworth, V. Kozhurina-Platais +3
We present comprehensive cluster membership and g'r' photometry of the prototypical old, metal-rich Galactic star cluster NGC 6791. The proper-motion catalog contains 58,901 object…
