Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler IV: Planet Sample From Q1-Q8 (22 Months)
Christopher J. Burke, Stephen T. Bryson, F. Mullally +37
We provide updates to the Kepler planet candidate sample based upon nearly two years of high-precision photometry (i.e., Q1-Q8). From an initial list of nearly 13,400 Threshold Cro…
A sub-Mercury-sized exoplanet
Thomas Barclay, Jason F. Rowe, Jack J. Lissauer +55
Since the discovery of the first exoplanet we have known that other planetary systems can look quite unlike our own. However, until recently we have only been able to probe the upp…
Kepler-62: A five-planet system with planets of 1.4 and 1.6 Earth radii in the Habitable Zone
W. J. Borucki, E. Agol, F. Fressin +62
We present the detection of five planets -- Kepler-62b, c, d, e, and f -- of size 1.31, 0.54, 1.95, 1.61 and 1.41 Earth radii, orbiting a K2V star at periods of 5.7, 12.4, 18.2, 12…
A super-Earth-sized planet orbiting in or near the habitable zone around Sun-like star
Thomas Barclay, Christopher J. Burke, Steve B. Howell +28
We present the discovery of a super-earth-sized planet in or near the habitable zone of a sun-like star. The host is Kepler-69, a 13.7 mag G4V-type star. We detect two periodic set…
Fundamental Properties of Kepler Planet-Candidate Host Stars using Asteroseismology
Daniel Huber, William J. Chaplin, Jørgen Christensen-Dalsgaard +31
We have used asteroseismology to determine fundamental properties for 66 Kepler planet-candidate host stars, with typical uncertainties of 3% and 7% in radius and mass, respectivel…
Identification of Background False Positives from Kepler Data
Stephen T. Bryson, Jon M. Jenkins, Ronald L. Gilliland +8
The Kepler Mission was launched on March 6, 2009 to perform a photometric survey of more than 100,000 dwarf stars to search for Earth-size planets with the transit technique. The r…
