TL;DR: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) as discussed by the authors will search for planets transiting bright and nearby stars using four wide-field optical charge-coupled device cameras to monitor at least 200,000 main-sequence dwarf stars.

TL;DR: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) as mentioned in this paper was selected by NASA for launch in 2017 as an Astrophysics Explorer mission to search for planets transiting bright and nearby stars.
Journal ArticleDOI
The false positive rate of kepler and the occurrence of planets
Francois Fressin,Guillermo Torres,David Charbonneau,Stephen T. Bryson,Jessie L. Christiansen,Courtney D. Dressing,Jon M. Jenkins,Lucianne M. Walkowicz,Natalie M. Batalha +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a prescription for the signal recovery rate of Kepler that enables a good match to both the KOI size and orbital period distribution, as well as their signal-to-noise distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Occurrence of Potentially Habitable Planets Orbiting M Dwarfs Estimated from the Full Kepler Dataset and an Empirical Measurement of the Detection Sensitivity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an improved estimate of the occurrence rate of small planets orbiting small stars by searching the full four-year Kepler data set for transiting planets using their own planet detection pipeline and conducting transit injection and recovery simulations to empirically measure the search completeness of their pipeline.
