Kepler Mission Design, Realized Photometric Performance, and Early Science
- D. Koch, W. Borucki, +44 authors Hayley Wu
- Physics
- 2 January 2010
The Kepler Mission, launched on 2009 March 6, was designed with the explicit capability to detect Earth-size planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars using the transit photometry method.… Expand
The Kepler Cluster Study: Stellar Rotation in Ngc 6811
- S. Meibom, S. Barnes, +17 authors E. Quintana
- Physics
- 14 April 2011
We present rotation periods for 71 single dwarf members of the open cluster NGC?6811 determined using photometry from NASA's Kepler mission. The results are the first from The Kepler Cluster Study,… Expand
Selection, Prioritization, and Characteristics of Kepler Target Stars
- N. Batalha, W. Borucki, +8 authors D. Monet
- Physics
- 3 January 2010
The Kepler Mission began its 3.5 year photometric monitoring campaign in 2009 May on a select group of approximately 150,000 stars. The stars were chosen from the ~ half million in the field of view… Expand
Stellar Rotation in M35: Mass-Period Relations, Spin-Down Rates, and Gyrochronology
- S. Meibom, R. Mathieu, K. Stassun
- Physics
- 7 May 2008
We present the results of a five month photometric time-series survey for stellar rotation over a 40' × 40' field centered on the 150 Myr open cluster M35. We report rotation periods for 441 stars… Expand
AGE AND DISTANCE FOR THE OLD OPEN CLUSTER NGC 188 FROM THE ECLIPSING BINARY MEMBER V 12
- S. Meibom, F. Grundahl, +6 authors K. Lefever
- Physics
- 20 March 2009
We present time series radial velocity, and photometric observations of a solar-type double-lined eclipsing binary star (V 12) in the old open cluster NGC?188. We use these data to determine the… Expand
Kepler-22b: a 2.4 Earth-radius Planet in the Habitable Zone of a Sun-like Star
- W. Borucki, D. Koch, +80 authors T. Bedding
- Physics
- 7 December 2011
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 days. The… Expand
A NEW LOOK AT THE OLD STAR CLUSTER NGC 6791
- I. Platais, K. Cudworth, +8 authors Cfht corp.
- Physics
- 28 April 2011
We present comprehensive cluster membership and g'r' photometry of the prototypical old, metal-rich Galactic star cluster NGC 6791. The proper-motion catalog contains 58,901 objects down to g'~ 24,… Expand
Photometric Variability in Kepler Target Stars. II. An Overview of Amplitude, Periodicity, and Rotation in First Quarter Data
- G. Basri, L. Walkowicz, +10 authors T. Brown
- Physics
- 5 August 2010
We provide an overview of stellar variability in the first quarter of data from the Kepler mission. The intent of this paper is to examine the entire sample of over 150,000 target stars for periodic… Expand
WHITE-LIGHT FLARES ON COOL STARS IN THE KEPLER QUARTER 1 DATA
- L. Walkowicz, G. Basri, +11 authors S. Bryson
- Physics
- 4 August 2010
We present the results of a search for white-light flares on ~23,000 cool dwarfs in the Kepler Quarter 1 long cadence data. We have identified 373 flaring stars, some of which flare multiple times… Expand
A ROBUST MEASURE OF TIDAL CIRCULARIZATION IN COEVAL BINARY POPULATIONS: THE SOLAR-TYPE SPECTROSCOPIC BINARY POPULATION IN THE OPEN CLUSTER M35
- S. Meibom, R. Mathieu
- Physics
- 6 December 2004
We present a new homogeneous sample of 32 spectroscopic binary orbits in the young (~150 Myr) main-sequence open cluster M35. The distribution of orbital eccentricity versus orbital period (e- log P)… Expand
