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…
Observational Constraints, Stellar Models, and Kepler Data for theta Cyg, the Brightest Star Observable by Kepler
J. A. Guzik, G. Houdek, W. J. Chaplin +8
The V=4.48 F4 main-sequence star theta Cyg is the brightest star observable in the Kepler spacecraft field-of-view. Short-cadence (58.8 s) photometric data were obtained by Kepler…
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…
Planet Hunters: The First Two Planet Candidates Identified by the Public using the Kepler Public Archive Data
Debra Fischer, Megan Schwamb, Kevin Schawinski +28
Planet Hunters is a new citizen science project, designed to engage the public in an exoplanet search using NASA Kepler public release data. In the first month after launch, users…
