Detection of Potential Transit Signals in the First Twelve Quarters of Kepler Mission Data
Peter Tenenbaum, Jon M. Jenkins, Shawn Seader +26
We present the results of a search for potential transit signals in the first three years of photometry data acquired by the Kepler Mission. The targets of the search include 112,3…
Transit Timing Observations from Kepler: VII. Confirmation of 27 planets in 13 multiplanet systems via Transit Timing Variations and orbital stability
Jason H. Steffen, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Eric Agol +15
We confirm 27 planets in 13 planetary systems by showing the existence of statistically significant anti-correlated transit timing variations (TTVs), which demonstrates that the pl…
The Derivation, Properties and Value of Kepler's Combined Differential Photometric Precision
Jessie L. Christiansen, Jon M. Jenkins, Thomas S. Barclay +11
The Kepler Mission is searching for Earth-size planets orbiting solar-like stars by simultaneously observing >160,000 stars to detect sequences of transit events in the photometric…
Alignment of the stellar spin with the orbits of a three-planet system
Roberto Sanchis-Ojeda, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Josh N. Winn +16
The Sun's equator and the planets' orbital planes are nearly aligned, which is presumably a consequence of their formation from a single spinning gaseous disk. For exoplanetary sys…
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…
Transit Timing Observations from Kepler: III. Confirmation of 4 Multiple Planet Systems by a Fourier-Domain Study of Anti-correlated Transit Timing Variations
Jason H. Steffen, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Eric B. Ford +45
We present a method to confirm the planetary nature of objects in systems with multiple transiting exoplanet candidates. This method involves a Fourier-Domain analysis of the devia…
Transit Timing Observations from Kepler: II. Confirmation of Two Multiplanet Systems via a Non-parametric Correlation Analysis
Eric B. Ford, Daniel C. Fabrycky, Jason H. Steffen +48
We present a new method for confirming transiting planets based on the combination of transit timingn variations (TTVs) and dynamical stability. Correlated TTVs provide evidence th…
Detection of Potential Transit Signals in the First Three Quarters of Kepler Mission Data
Peter Tenenbaum, Jessie L. Christiansen, Jon M. Jenkins +22
We present the results of a search for potential transit signals in the first three quarters of photometry data acquired by the Kepler Mission. The targets of the search include 15…
