    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...
