Two Earth-sized planets orbiting Kepler-20

Francois Fressin, Guillermo Torres, Jason F. Rowe +33

Since the discovery of the first extrasolar giant planets around Sun-like stars, evolving observational capabilities have brought us closer to the detection of true Earth analogues…

Kepler-21b: A 1.6REarth Planet Transiting the Bright Oscillating F Subgiant Star HD 179070

Steve B. Howell, Jason F. Rowe, Stephen T. Bryson +63

We present Kepler observations of the bright (V=8.3), oscillating star HD 179070. The observations show transit-like events which reveal that the star is orbited every 2.8 days by…

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…

Detection Of KOI-13.01 Using The Photometric Orbit

Avi Shporer, Jon M. Jenkins, Jason F. Rowe +7

We use the KOI-13 transiting star-planet system as a test case for the recently developed BEER algorithm (Faigler & Mazeh 2011), aimed at identifying non-transiting low-mass compan…

Kepler 18-b, c, and d: A System Of Three Planets Confirmed by Transit Timing Variations, Lightcurve Validation, Spitzer Photometry and Radial Velocity Measurements

William D. Cochran, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Guillermo Torres +51

We report the detection of three transiting planets around a Sunlike star, which we designate Kepler-18. The transit signals were detected in photometric data from the Kepler satel…

Ensemble Asteroseismology of Solar-Type Stars with the NASA Kepler Mission

W. J. Chaplin, H. Kjeldsen, J. Christensen-Dalsgaard +56

In addition to its search for extra-solar planets, the NASA Kepler Mission provides exquisite data on stellar oscillations. We report the detections of oscillations in 500 solartyp…
