The Occurrence of Rocky Habitable Zone Planets Around Solar-Like Stars from Kepler Data
Steve Bryson, Michelle Kunimoto, Ravi K. Kopparapu +79
We present occurrence rates for rocky planets in the habitable zones (HZ) of main-sequence dwarf stars based on the Kepler DR25 planet candidate catalog and Gaia-based stellar prop…
Detection of Potential Transit Signals in 17 Quarters of Kepler Mission Data
Shawn Seader, Jon M. Jenkins, Peter Tenenbaum +17
We present the results of a search for potential transit signals in the full 17-quarter data set collected during Kepler's primary mission that ended on May 11, 2013, due to the on…
Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler V: Planet Sample from Q1-Q12 (36 Months)
Jason F. Rowe, Jeffrey L. Coughlin, Victoria Antoci +43
The Kepler mission discovered 2842 exoplanet candidates with 2 years of data. We provide updates to the Kepler planet candidate sample based upon 3 years (Q1-Q12) of data. Through…
An Earth-sized Planet in the Habitable Zone of a Cool Star
Elisa V. Quintana, Thomas Barclay, Sean N. Raymond +20
The quest for Earth-like planets represents a major focus of current exoplanet research. While planets that are Earth-sized and smaller have been detected, these planets reside in…
Validation of Kepler's Multiple Planet Candidates. III: Light Curve Analysis & Announcement of Hundreds of New Multi-planet Systems
Jason F. Rowe, Stephen T. Bryson, Geoffrey W. Marcy +25
The Kepler mission has discovered over 2500 exoplanet candidates in the first two years of spacecraft data, with approximately 40% of them in candidate multi-planet systems. The hi…
Masses, Radii, and Orbits of Small Kepler Planets: The Transition from Gaseous to Rocky Planets
Geoffrey W. Marcy, Howard Isaacson, Andrew W. Howard +100
We report on the masses, sizes, and orbits of the planets orbiting 22 Kepler stars. There are 49 planet candidates around these stars, including 42 detected through transits and 7…
Detection of Potential Transit Signals in Sixteen Quarters of Kepler Mission Data
Peter Tenenbaum, Jon M. Jenkins, Shawn Seader +25
We present the results of a search for potential transit signals in four years of photometry data acquired by the Kepler Mission. The targets of the search include 111,800 stars wh…
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…
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…
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…
