Kepler-21b: A rocky planet around a V = 8.25 magnitude star

Mercedes Lopez-Morales, Raphaelle D. Haywood, Jeffrey L. Coughlin +36

HD 179070, aka Kepler-21, is a V = 8.25 F6IV star and the brightest exoplanet host discovered by Kepler. An early detailed analysis by Howell et al. (2012) of the first thirteen mo…

A 1.9 Earth radius rocky planet and the discovery of a non-transiting planet in the Kepler-20 system

Lars A. Buchhave, Courtney D. Dressing, Xavier Dumusque +35

Kepler-20 is a solar-type star (V = 12.5) hosting a compact system of five transiting planets, all packed within the orbital distance of Mercury in our own Solar System. A transiti…

A Dynamical Analysis of the Kepler-80 System of Five Transiting Planets

Mariah G. MacDonald, Darin Ragozzine, Daniel C. Fabrycky +10

Kepler has discovered hundreds of systems with multiple transiting exoplanets which hold tremendous potential both individually and collectively for understanding the formation and…

Habitable Evaporated Cores: Transforming Mini-Neptunes into Super-Earths in the Habitable Zones of M Dwarfs

Rodrigo Luger, Rory Barnes, Eric Lopez +3

We show that photoevaporation of small gaseous exoplanets ("mini-Neptunes") in the habitable zones of M dwarfs can remove several Earth masses of hydrogen and helium from these pla…

How Rocky Are They? The Composition Distribution of Kepler's Sub-Neptune Planet Candidates within 0.15 AU

Angie Wolfgang, Eric Lopez

The Kepler Mission has found thousands of planetary candidates with radii between 1 and 4 R. These planets have no analogues in our own Solar System, providing an unpreced…
