Masses, radii, and orbits of small kepler planets: the transition from gaseous to rocky planets

Geoffrey W. Marcy, +114 more
TL;DR: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NEASA) participated in the Kepler Participating Scientist Program (KSP) NNX12AC76G as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improving the Efficiency of Markov Chain Monte Carlo for Analyzing the Orbits of Extrasolar Planets

TL;DR: In this article, a simple method for generating alternative CTPDFs which can significantly speed up the convergence of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMCMC) is presented, which can be applied to multiple planet systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

William J. Borucki, +86 more
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 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

State of the Field: Extreme Precision Radial Velocities*

Debra A. Fischer, +60 more
TL;DR: The Second Workshop on Extreme Precision Radial Velocities defined circa 2015 the state of the art Doppler precision and identified the critical path challenges for reaching 10 cm s−1 measurement precision as mentioned in this paper.
