Verifying asteroseismically determined parameters of Kepler stars using hipparcos parallaxes: self-consistent stellar properties and distances
V. Silva Aguirre, L. Casagrande, S. Basu +24
Accurately determining the properties of stars is of prime importance for characterizing stellar populations in our Galaxy. The field of asteroseismology has been thought to be par…
Kepler-47: A Transiting Circumbinary Multi-Planet System
Jerome A. Orosz, William F. Welsh, Joshua A. Carter +36
We report the detection of Kepler-47, a system consisting of two planets orbiting around an eclipsing pair of stars. The inner and outer planets have radii 3.0 and 4.6 times that o…
Oscillation mode frequencies of 61 main sequence and subgiant stars observed by Kepler
T. Appourchaux, W. J. Chaplin, R. A. Garcia +25
Solar-like oscillations have been observed by Kepler and CoRoT in several solar-type stars, thereby providing a way to probe the stars using asteroseismology. We provide the mode f…
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…
A uniform asteroseismic analysis of 22 solar-type stars observed by Kepler
S. Mathur, T. S. Metcalfe, M. Woitaszek +39
Asteroseismology with the Kepler space telescope is providing not only an improved characterization of exoplanets and their host stars, but also a new window on stellar structure a…
Transit Timing Observations from Kepler: VI. Transit Timing Variation Candidates in the First Seventeen Months from Polynomial Models
Eric B. Ford, Darin Ragozzine, Jason F. Rowe +18
Transit timing variations provide a powerful tool for confirming and characterizing transiting planets, as well as detecting non-transiting planets. We report the results an update…
