Kepler-7b: A Transiting Planet with Unusually Low Density
David W. Latham, William J. Borucki, David G. Koch +18
We report the discovery and confirmation of Kepler-7b, a transiting planet with unusually low density. The mass is less than half that of Jupiter, Mp = 0.43 Mj, but the radius is f…
Kepler Asteroseismology Program: Introduction and First Results
Ronald L. Gilliland, T. M. Brown, J. Christensen-Dalsgaard +32
Asteroseismology involves probing the interiors of stars and quantifying their global properties, such as radius and age, through observationsof normal modes of oscillation. The te…
A super-Earth transiting a nearby low-mass star
David Charbonneau, Zachory K. Berta, Jonathan Irwin +16
A decade ago, the detection of the first transiting extrasolar planet provided a direct constraint on its composition and opened the door to spectroscopic investigations of extraso…
Blue Dots Team Transits Working Group Review
A. Sozzetti, C. Afonso, R. Alonso +9
Transiting planet systems offer an unique opportunity to observationally constrain proposed models of the interiors (radius, composition) and atmospheres (chemistry, dynamics) of e…
A Vigorous Explorer Program
Martin Elvis, Matthew Beasley, Roger Brissenden +47
Explorers have made breakthroughs in many fields of astrophysics. The science from both these missions contributed to three Nobel Prizes - Giacconi (2002), Mather, and Smoot (2006)…
A Spectroscopic Study of Kepler Asteroseismic Targets
J. Molenda-Zakowicz, A. Frasca, D. W. Latham +1
Reported are spectroscopic observations of 15 candidates for Kepler primary asteroseismic targets and 14 other stars in the Kepler field, carried out at three observatories (see th…
