Kepler photometry of the prototypical Blazhko star RR Lyr: An old friend seen in a new light
K. Kolenberg, S. Bryson, R. Szabó +18
We present our analysis of the long cadence Kepler data for the well-studied Blazhko star RR Lyr, gathered during the first two quarters of the satellite's observations and coverin…
Precise Estimates of the Physical Parameters for the Exoplanet System HD-17156 Enabled by HST FGS Transit and Asteroseismic Observations
Philip Nutzman, Ronald L. Gilliland, Peter R. McCullough +6
We present observations of three distinct transits of HD 17156b obtained with the Fine Guidance Sensors (FGS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope} (HST). We analyzed both the trans…
A precise asteroseismic age and radius for the evolved Sun-like star KIC 11026764
T. S. Metcalfe, M. J. P. F. G. Monteiro, M. J. Thompson +55
The primary science goal of the Kepler Mission is to provide a census of exoplanets in the solar neighborhood, including the identification and characterization of habitable Earth-…
Automatic Determination of Stellar Parameters via Asteroseismology of Stochastically Oscillating Stars: Comparison with Direct Measurements
P. -O. Quirion, J. Christensen-Dalsgaard, T. Arentoft
Space-based projects are providing a wealth of high-quality asteroseismic data, including frequencies for a large number of stars showing solar-like oscillations. These data open t…
Seismic signatures of stellar cores of solar-like pulsators: dependence on mass and age
I. M. Brandão, M. S. Cunha, O. L. Creevey +1
Useful information from the inner layers of stellar pulsators may be derived from the study of their oscillations. In this paper we analyse three diagnostic tools suggested in the…
Characteristics of Kepler Planetary Candidates Based on the First Data Set: The Majority are Found to be Neptune-Size and Smaller
William J. Borucki
In the spring of 2009, the Kepler Mission commenced high-precision photometry on nearly 156,000 stars to determine the frequency and characteristics of small exoplanets, conduct a…
