Journal ArticleDOI
Secure mass measurements from transit timing: 10 kepler exoplanets between 3 and 8 m? with diverse densities and incident fluxes
Daniel Jontof-Hutter,Eric B. Ford,Jason F. Rowe,Jack J. Lissauer,Daniel C. Fabrycky,Christa Van Laerhoven,Eric Agol,Katherine M. Deck,Tomer Holczer,Tsevi Mazeh +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors infer dynamical masses in eight multi-planet systems using transit times measured from Kepler's complete data set, including short-cadence data where available.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Relation between Hot Jupiters and the Roche Limit
Eric B. Ford,Frederic A. Rasio +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the observed distribution of hot Jupiters to constrain the location of its inner edge in the mass-period diagram and found that the edge corresponds to a separation close to twice the Roche limit.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a Fourier-Domain analysis of the deviations in the transit times from a constant period that result from dynamical interactions within the system is presented, which is used to confirm the planetary nature of objects in systems with multiple transiting exoplanet candidates.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The discovery of the Kepler-20 planetary system was first identified through the detection of five distinct periodic transit signals in the Kepler light curve of the host star 2MASSJ19104752+4220194 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Christiansen,Christopher K. Middour,Michael R. Haas,Jie Li,Jennifer R. Hall,Sean McCauliff,Natalie M. Batalha,David G. Koch,William J. Borucki +30 more
TL;DR: The Kepler-19 planetary system was first identified from a 9.3 day periodic transit signal in the Kepler photometry as mentioned in this paper, which is the case for all the known transits.
