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…

The Derivation, Properties and Value of Kepler's Combined Differential Photometric Precision

Jessie L. Christiansen, Jon M. Jenkins, Thomas S. Barclay +11

The Kepler Mission is searching for Earth-size planets orbiting solar-like stars by simultaneously observing >160,000 stars to detect sequences of transit events in the photometric…

Alignment of the stellar spin with the orbits of a three-planet system

Roberto Sanchis-Ojeda, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Josh N. Winn +16

The Sun's equator and the planets' orbital planes are nearly aligned, which is presumably a consequence of their formation from a single spinning gaseous disk. For exoplanetary sys…

Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler, III: Analysis of the First 16 Months of Data

Natalie M. Batalha, Jason F. Rowe, Stephen T. Bryson +69

New transiting planet candidates are identified in sixteen months (May 2009 - September 2010) of data from the Kepler spacecraft. Nearly five thousand periodic transit-like signals…

Transit Timing Observations from Kepler: II. Confirmation of Two Multiplanet Systems via a Non-parametric Correlation Analysis

Eric B. Ford, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Jason H. Steffen +48

We present a new method for confirming transiting planets based on the combination of transit timingn variations (TTVs) and dynamical stability. Correlated TTVs provide evidence th…
