Kepler Planet-Detection Mission: Introduction and First Results
- W. Borucki, D. Koch, +68 authors A. Prša
- Geology, Medicine
- Science
- 19 February 2010
Detecting Distant Planets More than 400 planets have been detected outside the solar system, most of which have masses similar to that of the gas giant planet, Jupiter. Borucki et al. (p. 977,… Expand
KEPLER INPUT CATALOG: PHOTOMETRIC CALIBRATION AND STELLAR CLASSIFICATION
- T. Brown, D. Latham, M. Everett, Gilbert A. Esquerdo Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope, H. F. Astrophysics, N. A. Observatories
- Physics
- 2 February 2011
We describe the photometric calibration and stellar classification methods used by the Stellar Classification Project to produce the Kepler Input Catalog (KIC). The KIC is a catalog containing… Expand
Detection of an Extrasolar Planet Atmosphere
- D. Charbonneau, T. Brown, R. Noyes, R. Gilliland
- Physics
- 28 November 2001
We report high-precision spectrophotometric observations of four planetary transits of HD 209458, in the region of the sodium resonance doublet at 589.3 nm. We find that the photometric dimming… Expand
Characteristics of planetary candidates observed by Kepler, II: Analysis of the first four months of data
- W. Borucki, D. Koch, +63 authors L. Walkowicz
- Physics
- 2 February 2011
On 2011 February 1 the Kepler mission released data for 156,453 stars observed from the beginning of the science observations on 2009 May 2 through September 16. There are 1235 planetary candidates… Expand
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
Hubble Space Telescope Time-Series Photometry of the Transiting Planet of HD?209458
- T. Brown, D. Charbonneau, R. Gilliland, R. Noyes, A. Burrows
- Physics
- 18 January 2001
We have observed four transits of the planet of HD 209458 using the STIS spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Summing the recorded counts over wavelength between 582 and 638 nm yields a… Expand
Planet Occurrence within 0.25 AU of Solar-Type Stars from Kepler
We report the distribution of planets as a function of planet radius, orbital period, and stellar effective temperature for orbital periods less than 50 days around solar-type (GK) stars. These… Expand
Detection of Thermal Emission from an Extrasolar Planet
- D. Charbonneau, L. Allen, +8 authors A. Sozzetti
- Physics
- 21 March 2005
We present Spitzer Space Telescope infrared photometric time series of the transiting extrasolar planet system TrES-1. The data span a predicted time of secondary eclipse, corresponding to the… Expand
Using Stellar Limb-Darkening to Refine the Properties of HD 209458b
- H. Knutson, D. Charbonneau, R. Noyes, T. Brown, R. Gilliland
- Physics
- 20 March 2006
We use multiband photometry to refine estimates for the planetary radius and orbital inclination of the transiting planet system HD 209458. We gathered 1066 spectra over four distinct transits with… Expand
A ~7.5 M⊕ Planet Orbiting the Nearby Star, GJ 876*
- E. Rivera, J. Lissauer, +6 authors G. Henry
- Physics
- 18 October 2005
High-precision, high-cadence radial velocity monitoring over the past 8 yr at the W. M. Keck Observatory reveals evidence for a third planet orbiting the nearby (4.69 pc) dM4 star GJ 876. The… Expand
