Detection of Potential Transit Signals in the First Twelve Quarters of Kepler Mission Data
Peter Tenenbaum, Jon M. Jenkins, Shawn Seader +26
We present the results of a search for potential transit signals in the first three years of photometry data acquired by the Kepler Mission. The targets of the search include 112,3…
Photometrically derived masses and radii of the planet and star in the TrES-2 system
Thomas Barclay, Daniel Huber, Jason F. Rowe +16
We measure the mass and radius of the star and planet in the TrES-2 system using 2.7 years of observations by the Kepler spacecraft. The light curve shows evidence for ellipsoidal…
Kepler-47: A Transiting Circumbinary Multi-Planet System
Jerome A. Orosz, William F. Welsh, Joshua A. Carter +36
We report the detection of Kepler-47, a system consisting of two planets orbiting around an eclipsing pair of stars. The inner and outer planets have radii 3.0 and 4.6 times that o…
The Neptune-Sized Circumbinary Planet Kepler-38b
Jerome A. Orosz, William F. Welsh, Joshua A. Carter +28
We discuss the discovery and characterization of the circumbinary planet Kepler-38b. The stellar binary is single-lined, with a period of 18.8 days, and consists of a moderately ev…
Transit Timing Observations from Kepler: VII. Confirmation of 27 planets in 13 multiplanet systems via Transit Timing Variations and orbital stability
Jason H. Steffen, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Eric Agol +15
We confirm 27 planets in 13 planetary systems by showing the existence of statistically significant anti-correlated transit timing variations (TTVs), which demonstrates that the pl…
The Derivation, Properties and Value of Kepler's Combined Differential Photometric Precision
Jessie L. Christiansen, Jon M. Jenkins, Thomas S. Barclay +11
The Kepler Mission is searching for Earth-size planets orbiting solar-like stars by simultaneously observing >160,000 stars to detect sequences of transit events in the photometric…
