What asteroseismology can do for exoplanets
Vincent Van Eylen, Mikkel N. Lund, Victor Silva Aguirre +12
We describe three useful applications of asteroseismology in the context of exoplanet science: (1) the detailed characterisation of exoplanet host stars; (2) the measurement of ste…
Discovery of a Transiting Planet Near the Snow-Line
David M. Kipping, Guillermo Torres, Lars A. Buchhave +8
In most theories of planet formation, the snow-line represents a boundary between the emergence of the interior rocky planets and the exterior ice giants. The wide separation of th…
Validation of Kepler's Multiple Planet Candidates. III: Light Curve Analysis & Announcement of Hundreds of New Multi-planet Systems
Jason F. Rowe, Stephen T. Bryson, Geoffrey W. Marcy +25
The Kepler mission has discovered over 2500 exoplanet candidates in the first two years of spacecraft data, with approximately 40% of them in candidate multi-planet systems. The hi…
Validation of Kepler's Multiple Planet Candidates. II: Refined Statistical Framework and Descriptions of Systems of Special Interest
Jack J. Lissauer, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Stephen T. Bryson +11
We extend the statistical analysis of Lissauer et al. (2012, ApJ 750, 112), which demonstrates that the overwhelming majority of Kepler candidate multiple transiting systems (multi…
Masses, Radii, and Orbits of Small Kepler Planets: The Transition from Gaseous to Rocky Planets
Geoffrey W. Marcy, Howard Isaacson, Andrew W. Howard +100
We report on the masses, sizes, and orbits of the planets orbiting 22 Kepler stars. There are 49 planet candidates around these stars, including 42 detected through transits and 7…
