Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler. VII. The First Fully Uniform Catalog Based on The Entire 48 Month Dataset (Q1-Q17 DR24)

Jeffrey L. Coughlin, F. Mullally, Susan E. Thompson +32

We present the seventh Kepler planet candidate catalog, which is the first to be based on the entire, uniformly processed, 48 month Kepler dataset. This is the first fully automate…

Kepler-1647b: the largest and longest-period Kepler transiting circumbinary planet

Veselin B. Kostov, Jerome A. Orosz, William F. Welsh +28

We report the discovery of a new Kepler transiting circumbinary planet (CBP). This latest addition to the still-small family of CBPs defies the current trend of known short-period…

Characterization of Kepler-91b and the Investigation of a Potential Trojan Companion Using EXONEST

Ben Placek, Kevin H. Knuth, Daniel Angerhausen +1

Presented here is an independent re-analysis of the Kepler light curve of Kepler-91 (KIC 8219268). Using the EXONEST software package, which provides both Bayesian parameter estima…

Kepler Mission Stellar and Instrument Noise Properties Revisited

Ronald L. Gilliland, William J. Chaplin, Jon M. Jenkins +2

An earlier study of the Kepler Mission noise properties on time scales of primary relevance to detection of exoplanet transits found that higher than expected noise followed to a l…

Discovery and Validation of Kepler-452b: A 1.6-Re Super Earth Exoplanet in the Habitable Zone of a G2 Star

Jon M. Jenkins, Joseph D. Twicken, Natalie M. Batalha +26

We report on the discovery and validation of Kepler-452b, a transiting planet identified by a search through the 4 years of data collected by NASA's Kepler Mission. This possibly r…

Measuring Transit Signal Recovery in the Kepler Pipeline II: Detection Efficiency as Calculated in One Year of Data

Jessie L. Christiansen, Bruce D. Clarke, Christopher J. Burke +10

The Kepler planet sample can only be used to reconstruct the underlying planet occurrence rate if the detection efficiency of the Kepler pipeline is known, here we present the resu…
