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
(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 ...
The hot-Jupiter Kepler-17b : Discovery, obliquity from stroboscopic starspots, and atmospheric characterization
(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-15b : A hot Jupiter enriched in heavy elements and the first Kepler mission planet confirmed with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope
(2011-11-01)
We report the discovery of Kepler-15b (KOI-128), a new transiting exoplanet detected by NASA's Kepler mission. The transit signal with a period of 4.94days was detected in the quarter 1 (Q1) Kepler photometry. For the first ...
Discovery and atmospheric characterization of giant planet Kepler-12b : An inflated radius outlier
(2011-11-01)
We report the discovery of planet Kepler-12b (KOI-20), which at 1.695 ± 0.030 R is among the handful of planets with super-inflated radii above 1.65 R. Orbiting its slightly evolved G0 host with a 4.438 day period, this ...
