Kepler Eclipsing Binary Stars. VII. The Catalog of Eclipsing Binaries Found in the Entire Kepler Data-Set

Brian Kirk, Kyle Conroy, Andrej Prša +47

The primary Kepler Mission provided nearly continuous monitoring of ~200,000 objects with unprecedented photometric precision. We present the final catalog of eclipsing binary syst…

Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler. VII. The First Fully Uniform Catalog Based on The Entire 48 Month Dataset (Q1-Q17 DR24)

Jeffrey L. Coughlin, F. Mullally, Susan E. Thompson +32

We present the seventh Kepler planet candidate catalog, which is the first to be based on the entire, uniformly processed, 48 month Kepler dataset. This is the first fully automate…

Discovery and Validation of Kepler-452b: A 1.6-Re Super Earth Exoplanet in the Habitable Zone of a G2 Star

Jon M. Jenkins, Joseph D. Twicken, Natalie M. Batalha +26

We report on the discovery and validation of Kepler-452b, a transiting planet identified by a search through the 4 years of data collected by NASA's Kepler Mission. This possibly r…

Measuring Transit Signal Recovery in the Kepler Pipeline II: Detection Efficiency as Calculated in One Year of Data

Jessie L. Christiansen, Bruce D. Clarke, Christopher J. Burke +10

The Kepler planet sample can only be used to reconstruct the underlying planet occurrence rate if the detection efficiency of the Kepler pipeline is known, here we present the resu…

Terrestrial Planet Occurrence Rates for the Kepler GK Dwarf Sample

Christopher J. Burke, Jessie L. Christiansen, F. Mullally +22

We measure planet occurrence rates using the planet candidates discovered by the Q1-Q16 Kepler pipeline search. This study examines planet occurrence rates for the Kepler GK dwarf…

Low False-Positive Rate of Kepler Candidates Estimated From A Combination Of Spitzer And Follow-Up Observations

Jean-Michel Désert, David Charbonneau, Guillermo Torres +13

(Abridged) NASA's Kepler mission has provided several thousand transiting planet candidates, yet only a small subset have been confirmed as true planets. Therefore, the most fundam…

Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler VI: Planet Sample from Q1-Q16 (47 Months)

F. Mullally, Jeffrey L. Coughlin, Susan E. Thompson +56

\We present the sixth catalog of Kepler candidate planets based on nearly 4 years of high precision photometry. This catalog builds on the legacy of previous catalogs released by t…

Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler V: Planet Sample from Q1-Q12 (36 Months)

Jason F. Rowe, Jeffrey L. Coughlin, Victoria Antoci +43

The Kepler mission discovered 2842 exoplanet candidates with 2 years of data. We provide updates to the Kepler planet candidate sample based upon 3 years (Q1-Q12) of data. Through…

Validation of Twelve Small Kepler Transiting Planets in the Habitable Zone

Guillermo Torres, David M. Kipping, Francois Fressin +23

We present an investigation of twelve candidate transiting planets from Kepler with orbital periods ranging from 34 to 207 days, selected from initial indications that they are sma…
