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…
