Kepler Mission Design, Realized Photometric Performance, and Early Science
David G. Koch, William J. Borucki, Gibor Basri +44
The Kepler Mission, launched on Mar 6, 2009 was designed with the explicit capability to detect Earth-size planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars using the transit photo…
Discovery of the Transiting Planet Kepler-5b
David G. Koch, William J. Borucki, Jason F. Rowe +18
We present 44 days of high duty cycle, ultra precise photometry of the 13th magnitude star Kepler-5 (KIC 8191672, Teff=6300 K, logg=4.1), which exhibits periodic transits with a de…
The Extreme Microlensing Event OGLE-2007-BLG-224: Terrestrial Parallax Observation of a Thick-Disk Brown Dwarf
A. Gould, A. Udalski, B. Monard +10
Parallax is the most fundamental technique to measure distances to astronomical objects. Although terrestrial parallax was pioneered over 2000 years ago by Hipparchus (ca. 140 BCE)…
