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…
Spin-Orbit Alignment for the Circumbinary Planet Host Kepler-16A
Joshua N. Winn, Simon Albrecht, John Asher Johnson +31
Kepler-16 is an eccentric low-mass eclipsing binary with a circumbinary transiting planet. Here we investigate the angular momentum of the primary star, based on Kepler photometry…
Kepler Mission Stellar and Instrument Noise Properties
Ronald L. Gilliland, William J. Chaplin, Edward W. Dunham +14
Kepler Mission results are rapidly contributing to fundamentally new discoveries in both the exoplanet and asteroseismology fields. The data returned from Kepler are unique in term…
Kepler-14b: A massive hot Jupiter transiting an F star in a close visual binary
Lars A. Buchhave, David W. Latham, Joshua A. Carter +46
We present the discovery of a hot Jupiter transiting an F star in a close visual (0.3" sky projected angular separation) binary system. The dilution of the host star's light by the…
The Kepler Cluster Study: Stellar Rotation in NGC6811
Søren Meibom, Sydney A. Barnes, David W. Latham +17
We present rotation periods for 71 single dwarf members of the open cluster NGC6811 determined using photometry from NASA's Kepler Mission. The results are the first from The Keple…
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…
Characteristics of planetary candidates observed by Kepler, II: Analysis of the first four months of data
William J. Borucki, David G. Koch, Gibor Basri +63
On 1 February 2011 the Kepler Mission released data for 156,453 stars observed from the beginning of the science observations on 2 May through 16 September 2009. There are 1235 pla…
KOI-126: A Triply-Eclipsing Hierarchical Triple with Two Low-Mass Stars
Joshua A. Carter, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Darin Ragozzine +20
The Kepler spacecraft has been monitoring the light from 150,000 stars in its primary quest to detect transiting exoplanets. Here we report on the detection of an eclipsing stellar…
