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…
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…
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…
Kepler-36: A Pair of Planets with Neighboring Orbits and Dissimilar Densities
Joshua A. Carter, Eric Agol, William J. Chaplin +43
In the Solar system the planets' compositions vary with orbital distance, with rocky planets in close orbits and lower-density gas giants in wider orbits. The detection of close-in…
Kepler constraints on planets near hot Jupiters
Jason H. Steffen, Darin Ragozzine, Daniel C. Fabrycky +9
We present the results of a search for planetary companions orbiting near hot Jupiter planet candidates (Jupiter-size candidates with orbital periods near 3 days) identified in the…
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…
