The Occurrence of Rocky Habitable Zone Planets Around Solar-Like Stars from Kepler Data

Steve Bryson, Michelle Kunimoto, Ravi K. Kopparapu +79

We present occurrence rates for rocky planets in the habitable zones (HZ) of main-sequence dwarf stars based on the Kepler DR25 planet candidate catalog and Gaia-based stellar prop…

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…

Kepler-62: A five-planet system with planets of 1.4 and 1.6 Earth radii in the Habitable Zone

W. J. Borucki, E. Agol, F. Fressin +62

We present the detection of five planets -- Kepler-62b, c, d, e, and f -- of size 1.31, 0.54, 1.95, 1.61 and 1.41 Earth radii, orbiting a K2V star at periods of 5.7, 12.4, 18.2, 12…

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…

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…

Planet Occurrence within 0.25 AU of Solar-type Stars from Kepler

Andrew W. Howard, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Stephen T. Bryson +59

We report the distribution of planets as a function of planet radius (R_p), orbital period (P), and stellar effective temperature (Teff) for P < 50 day orbits around GK stars. Thes…
