Discovery of a Third Transiting Planet in the Kepler-47 Circumbinary System
Jerome A. Orosz, William F. Welsh, Nader Haghighipour +16
Of the nine confirmed transiting circumbinary planet systems, only Kepler-47 is known to contain more than one planet. Kepler-47 b (the "inner planet") has an orbital period of 49.…
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…
KIC 9632895 - The 10th Kepler Transiting Circumbinary Planet
William F. Welsh, Jerome A. Orosz, Donald R. Short +19
We present the discovery of KIC 9632895b, a 6.2 Earth-radius planet in a low-eccentricity, 240.5-day orbit about an eclipsing binary. The binary itself consists of a 0.93 and 0.194…
The Transiting Circumbinary Planets Kepler-34 and Kepler-35
William F. Welsh, Jerome A. Orosz, Joshua A. Carter +43
Most Sun-like stars in the Galaxy reside in gravitationally-bound pairs of stars called "binary stars". While long anticipated, the existence of a "circumbinary planet" orbiting su…
