- 8 March 2011
The Kepler Mission provides nearly continuous monitoring of ∼156,000 objects with unprecedented photometric precision. Coincident with the first data release, we presented a catalog of 1879 eclipsing…
PLANETARY CANDIDATES OBSERVED BY KEPLER. III. ANALYSIS OF THE FIRST 16 MONTHS OF DATA
- N. Batalha, J. Rowe, Georgia State University
- Physics, Geology
- 27 February 2012
New transiting planet candidates are identified in 16 months (2009 May–2010 September) of data from the Kepler spacecraft. Nearly 5000 periodic transit-like signals are vetted against astrophysical…
Accurate fundamental parameters and detailed abundance patterns from spectroscopy of 93 solar-type Kepler targets
- H. Bruntt, S. Basu, D. Sanderfer
- Physics, Geology
- 11 June 2012
We present a detailed spectroscopic study of 93 solar-type stars that are targets of the NASA/Kepler mission and provide detailed chemical composition of each target. We find that the overall…
TESTING SCALING RELATIONS FOR SOLAR-LIKE OSCILLATIONS FROM THE MAIN SEQUENCE TO RED GIANTS USING KEPLER DATA
- D. Huber, T. Bedding, J. Smith
- Physics, Geology
- 15 September 2011
We have analyzed solar-like oscillations in ∼1700 stars observed by the Kepler Mission, spanning from the main sequence to the red clump. Using evolutionary models, we test asteroseismic scaling…
Kepler observations of the variability in B-type stars
- L. Balona, A. Pigulski, D. Sanderfer
- Physics
- 3 March 2011
The analysis of the light curves of 48 B-type stars observed by Kepler is presented. Among these are 15 pulsating stars, all of which show low frequencies, characteristic of slowly pulsating B (SPB)…
DETECTION OF KOI-13.01 USING THE PHOTOMETRIC ORBIT
- Avi Shporer, J. Jenkins, W. Welsh
- Physics, Geology
- 16 October 2011
We use the KOI-13 transiting star–planet system as a test case for the recently developed BEER algorithm, aimed at identifying non-transiting low-mass companions by detecting the photometric…

- 1 June 2016
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will conduct a search for Earth's closest cousins starting in early 2018 and is expected to discover ∼1,000 small planets with Rp < 4 R⊕ and measure…
DISCOVERY AND VALIDATION OF Kepler-452b: A 1.6 R⨁ SUPER EARTH EXOPLANET IN THE HABITABLE ZONE OF A G2 STAR
- J. Jenkins, J. Twicken, W. Borucki
- Physics, Geology
- 24 July 2015
We report on the discovery and validation of Kepler-452b, a transiting planet identified by a search through the 4 years of data collected by NASA’s Kepler Mission. This possibly rocky 1.63 − 0.20 +…
DETECTION OF POTENTIAL TRANSIT SIGNALS IN 17 QUARTERS OF KEPLER DATA: RESULTS OF THE FINAL KEPLER MISSION TRANSITING PLANET SEARCH (DR25)
- J. Twicken, J. Jenkins, S. Thompson
- Physics, Geology
- 20 April 2016
We present results of the final Kepler Data Processing Pipeline search for transiting planet signals in the full 17-quarter primary mission data set. The search includes a total of 198,709 stellar…
DETECTION OF POTENTIAL TRANSIT SIGNALS IN THE FIRST THREE QUARTERS OF Kepler MISSION DATA
- P. Tenenbaum, J. Christiansen, James E. Nickerson
- Physics, Geology
- 5 January 2012
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 151,722 stars which…
