    • The distribution of transit durations for Kepler planet candidates and implications for their orbital eccentricities 

      Moorhead, A.V.; Ford, E.B.; Morehead, R.C.; Rowe, J.; Caldwell, D.A.; Jenkins, J.M.; Li, J.; Quintana, E.; Borucki, W.J.; Bryson, S.T.; Koch, D.G.; Jenkins, J.M.; Li, J.; Lissauer, J.J.; Quintana, E.; Batalha, N.M.; Fabrycky, D.C.; Gautier, T.N.; Holman, M.J.; Quinn, S.N.; Ragozzine, D.; Torres, G.; Lucas, P.W.; Marcy, G.W.; Shporer, A.; Still, M.; Shporer, A. (2011-11-01)
      Doppler planet searches have discovered that giant planets follow orbits with a wide range of orbital eccentricities, revolutionizing theories of planet formation. The discovery of hundreds of exoplanet candidates by NASA's ...

    • The hot-Jupiter Kepler-17b : Discovery, obliquity from stroboscopic starspots, and atmospheric characterization 

      Désert, J.-M.; Charbonneau, D.; Ballard, S.; Carter, J.A.; Quinn, S.N.; Fressin, F.; Latham, D.W.; Torres, G.; Lissauer, J.J.; Sasselov, D.D.; Demory, B.-O.; Seager, S.; Winn, J.N.; Fortney, J.J.; Fabrycky, D.C.; Cochran, W.D.; Endl, M.; MacQueen, P.J.; Isaacson, H.T.; Knutson, H.A.; Marcy, G.W.; Buchhave, L.A.; Bryson, S.T.; Rowe, J.F.; Borucki, W.J.; Christiansen, J.L.; Haas, M.R.; Koch, D.; Batalha, N.M.; Brown, T.M.; Caldwell, D.A.; Jenkins, J.M.; Mullally, F.; Tenenbaum, P.; Deming, D.; Ford, E.B.; Gilliland, R.L.; Gillon, M.; Kinemuchi, K.; Still, M.; Lucas, P.W.; Uddin, K. (2011-11-01)
      This paper reports the discovery and characterization of the transiting hot giant exoplanet Kepler-17b. The planet has an orbital period of 1.486 days, and radial velocity measurements from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope show ...

    • Kepler-18b, c, and d : A system of three planets confirmed by transit timing variations, light curve validation, Warm-Spitzer photometry, and radial velocity measurements 

      Cochran, W.D.; MacQueen, P.J.; Endl, M.; Fabrycky, D.C.; Fortney, J.J.; Miller, N.; Torres, G.; Fressin, F.; Désert, J.-M.; Ragozzine, D.; Sasselov, D.; Carter, J.A.; Quinn, S.N.; Latham, D.W.; Holman, M.J.; Charbonneau, D.; Rowe, J.F.; Bryson, S.T.; Howell, S.B.; Borucki, W.J.; Koch, D.G.; Uddin, K.; Tenenbaum, P.; Still, M.; Mullally, F.; Lissauer, J.J.; Kinemuchi, K.; Jenkins, J.M.; Henze, C.E.; Haas, M.R.; Caldwell, D.; Brugamyer, E.J.; Ciardi, D.R.; Steffen, J.H.; Winn, J.N.; Seager, S.; Demory, B.-O.; Welsh, W.F.; Uddin, K.; Tenenbaum, P.; Mullally, F.; Jenkins, J.M.; Caldwell, D.; Still, M.; Kinemuchi, K.; Marcy, G.W.; Knutson, H.; Isaacson, H.; Howard, A.; Lucas, P.W.; Johnson, J.A.; Horch, E.; Gilliland, R.L.; Gautier, T.N.; Ford, E.B.; Fischer, D.A.; Everett, M.; Deming, D.; Buchhave, L.; Brown, T.M.; Batalha, N. (2011-11-01)
      We report the detection of three transiting planets around a Sun-like star, which we designate Kepler-18. The transit signals were detected in photometric data from the Kepler satellite, and were confirmed to arise from ...

    • Photometrically derived masses and radii of the planet and star in the TrES-2 system 

      Barclay, T.; Huber, D.; Rowe, Jason F.; Quintana, Elisa V.; Christiansen, Jessie L.; Jenkins, J.M.; Mullally, F.; Seader, S.E.; Tenenbaum, P.; Thompson, S.E.; Fortney, J.J.; Morley, C.V.; Fabrycky, D.C.; Barentsen, G.; Bloemen, S.; Demory, B.-O.; Fulton, B.J.; Shporer, A.; Ragozzine, D. (2012-12-10)
      We measure the mass and radius of the star and planet in the TrES-2 system using 2.7 years of observations by the Kepler spacecraft. The light curve shows evidence for ellipsoidal variations and Doppler beaming on a period ...

    • Transit timing observations from Kepler. I. : Statistical analysis of the first four months 

      Ford, E.B.; Rowe, J.F.; Caldwell, D.A.; Jenkins, J.M.; Li, J.; Mullally, F.R.; Quintana, E.; Tenenbaum, P.; Thompson, S.E.; Twicken, J.D.; Lissauer, J.J.; Borucki, W.J.; Bryson, S.; Caldwell, D.A.; Jenkins, J.M.; Koch, D.G.; Still, M.; Fabrycky, D.C.; Carter, J.A.; Holman, M.J.; Ragozzine, D.; Steffen, J.H.; Batalha, N.M.; Dunham, E.W.; Gautier, T.N.; Lucas, P.W.; Marcy, G.W.; McCauliff, S. (2011-11-01)
      The architectures of multiple planet systems can provide valuable constraints on models of planet formation, including orbital migration, and excitation of orbital eccentricities and inclinations. NASA's Kepler mission has ...
