Kepler 18-b, c, and d: A System Of Three Planets Confirmed by Transit Timing Variations, Lightcurve Validation, Spitzer Photometry and Radial Velocity Measurements
William D. Cochran, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Guillermo Torres +51
We report the detection of three transiting planets around a Sunlike star, which we designate Kepler-18. The transit signals were detected in photometric data from the Kepler satel…
Discovery and Atmospheric Characterization of Giant Planet Kepler-12b: An Inflated Radius Outlier
Jonathan J. Fortney, Brice-Olivier Demory, Jean-Michel Desert +34
We report the discovery of planet Kepler-12b (KOI-20), which at 1.695\pm0.030 RJ is among the handful of planets with super-inflated radii above 1.65 RJ. Orbiting its slightly evol…
The First Kepler Mission Planet Confirmed With The Hobby-Eberly Telescope: Kepler-15b, a Hot Jupiter Enriched In Heavy Elements
Michael Endl, Phillip J. MacQueen, William D. Cochran +30
We report the discovery of Kepler-15b, a new transiting exoplanet detected by NASA's Kepler mission. The transit signal with a period of 4.94 days was detected in the quarter 1 (Q1…
Kepler-14b: A massive hot Jupiter transiting an F star in a close visual binary
Lars A. Buchhave, David W. Latham, Joshua A. Carter +46
We present the discovery of a hot Jupiter transiting an F star in a close visual (0.3" sky projected angular separation) binary system. The dilution of the host star's light by the…
The Transit Light Curve project. XIV. Confirmation of Anomalous Radii for the Exoplanets TrES-4b, HAT-P-3b, and WASP-12b
Tucker Chan, Mikael Ingemyr, Joshua N. Winn +4
We present transit photometry of three exoplanets, TrES-4b, HAT-P-3b, and WASP-12b, allowing for refined estimates of the systems' parameters. TrES-4b and WASP-12b were confirmed t…
The Burrell-Optical-Kepler-Survey (BOKS) I: Survey Description and Initial Results
John J. Feldmeier, Steve B. Howell, William Sherry +9
We present the initial results of a 40 night contiguous ground-based campaign of time series photometric observations of a 1.39 sq. deg field located within the NASA Kepler mission…
