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 ...
Transit timing observations from Kepler. I. : Statistical analysis of the first four months
(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 ...
The distribution of transit durations for Kepler planet candidates and implications for their orbital eccentricities
(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 ...
Characteristics of planetary candidates observed by Kepler II : Analysis of the first four months of data
(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 with transit-like ...
