TL;DR: The Kepler telescope detected a triple stellar system consisting of a low-mass binary and a poorly sampled fully convective stellar domain offering a crucial benchmark for theoretical stellar models.

TL;DR: A search for planetary companions orbiting near hot Jupiter planet candidates (Jupiter-size candidates with orbital periods near 3 d) identified in the Kepler data through its sixth quarter of science operations shows no significant signals.

TL;DR: In this article, a procedure called BLENDER was proposed to model the photometry in terms of a "blend" rather than a planet orbiting a star, where a blend may consist of a background or foreground eclipsing binary (or star-planet pair) whose eclipses are attenuated by the light of the candidate and possibly other stars within the photometric aperture.

TL;DR: In this article, the discovery and characterization of the circumbinary planet Kepler-38b was discussed, and a photometric dynamical model fit to the radial velocity curve and Kepler light curve yields a planetary radius of 4.35 ± 0.053 days.

TL;DR: A search of the time-series photometry from NASA's Kepler spacecraft reveals a transiting planet candidate orbiting the 11th magnitude G5 dwarf KIC 10593626 with a period of 290 days.
