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
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
A closely packed system of low-mass, low-density planets transiting Kepler-11

- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 1 February 2011
When an extrasolar planet passes in front of (transits) its star, its radius can be measured from the decrease in starlight and its orbital period from the time between transits. Multiple planets… 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
Kepler-16: A Transiting Circumbinary Planet
- L. Doyle, J. A. Carter, +46 authors D. Fischer
- Physics, Medicine
- Science
- 15 September 2011
An exoplanet has been observed, comparable in size and mass to Saturn, that orbits a pair of stars. We report the detection of a planet whose orbit surrounds a pair of low-mass stars. Data from the… Expand
KEPLER'S FIRST ROCKY PLANET: KEPLER-10b*
- N. Batalha, W. Borucki, +74 authors High Altitude Observatory
- Physics
- 3 February 2011
NASA's Kepler Mission uses transit photometry to determine the frequency of Earth-size planets in or near the habitable zone of Sun-like stars. The mission reached a milestone toward meeting that… Expand
KEPLER ECLIPSING BINARY STARS. I. CATALOG AND PRINCIPAL CHARACTERIZATION OF 1879 ECLIPSING BINARIES IN THE FIRST DATA RELEASE
- A. Prša, N. Batalha, +12 authors W. Borucki
- Physics
- 14 June 2010
The Kepler space mission is devoted to finding Earth-size planets orbiting other stars in their habitable zones. Its large, 105 deg2 field of view features over 156,000 stars that are observed… Expand
KEPLER ECLIPSING BINARY STARS. II. 2165 ECLIPSING BINARIES IN THE SECOND DATA RELEASE
- R. W. Slawson, A. Prša, +21 authors D. Koch
- Physics
- 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… Expand
Masses, Radii, and Orbits of Small Kepler Planets: The Transition From Gaseous to Rocky Planets
- G. Marcy, H. Isaacson, +100 authors D. Barrado
- Physics
- 16 January 2014
We report on the masses, sizes, and orbits of the planets orbiting 22 Kepler stars. There are 49 planet candidates around these stars, including 42 detected through transits and 7 revealed by precise… Expand
Transiting circumbinary planets Kepler-34 b and Kepler-35 b
- W. Welsh, J. Orosz, +43 authors W. Borucki
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 26 January 2012
Most Sun-like stars in the Galaxy reside in gravitationally bound pairs of stars (binaries). Although long anticipated, the existence of a ‘circumbinary planet’ orbiting such a pair of normal stars… Expand
