Kepler-22b: A 2.4 Earth-radius Planet in the Habitable Zone of a Sun-like Star
William J. Borucki, David G. Koch, Natalie Batalha +80
A search of the time-series photometry from NASA's Kepler spacecraft reveals a transiting planet candidate orbiting the 11th magnitude G5 dwarf KIC 10593626 with a period of 290 da…
Planet Hunters: The First Two Planet Candidates Identified by the Public using the Kepler Public Archive Data
Debra Fischer, Megan Schwamb, Kevin Schawinski +28
Planet Hunters is a new citizen science project, designed to engage the public in an exoplanet search using NASA Kepler public release data. In the first month after launch, users…
Spin-Orbit Alignment for the Circumbinary Planet Host Kepler-16A
Joshua N. Winn, Simon Albrecht, John Asher Johnson +31
Kepler-16 is an eccentric low-mass eclipsing binary with a circumbinary transiting planet. Here we investigate the angular momentum of the primary star, based on Kepler photometry…
Planet Occurrence within 0.25 AU of Solar-type Stars from Kepler
Andrew W. Howard, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Stephen T. Bryson +59
We report the distribution of planets as a function of planet radius (R_p), orbital period (P), and stellar effective temperature (Teff) for P < 50 day orbits around GK stars. Thes…
Characteristics of planetary candidates observed by Kepler, II: Analysis of the first four months of data
William J. Borucki, David G. Koch, Gibor Basri +63
On 1 February 2011 the Kepler Mission released data for 156,453 stars observed from the beginning of the science observations on 2 May through 16 September 2009. There are 1235 pla…
