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…
Qatar-2: A K dwarf orbited by a transiting hot Jupiter and a more massive companion in an outer orbit
Marta L. Bryan, Khalid A. Alsubai, David W. Latham +23
We report the discovery and initial characterization of Qatar-2b, a hot Jupiter transiting a V = 13.3 mag K dwarf in a circular orbit with a short period, P_ b = 1.34 days. The mas…
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…
Seven new binaries discovered in the Kepler light curves through the BEER method confirmed by radial-velocity observations
S. Faigler, T. Mazeh, S. N. Quinn +2
We present seven newly discovered non-eclipsing short-period binary systems with low-mass companions, identified by the recently introduced BEER algorithm, applied to the publicly…
