Journal ArticleDOI

Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler. III. Analysis of the First 16 Months of Data

Natalie M. Batalha, +77 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors verified nearly 5000 periodic transit-like signals against astrophysical and instrumental false positives yielding 1108 viable new transiting planet candidates, bringing the total count up to over 2300.
Journal ArticleDOI

Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler, III: Analysis of the First 16 Months of Data

Natalie M. Batalha, +72 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the noise-weighted robust averaging of multi-quarter photo-center offsets derived from difference image analysis, which identifies likely background eclipsing binaries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Planet Occurrence within 0.25 AU of Solar-Type Stars from Kepler

Andrew W. Howard, +68 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the distribution of planets as a function of planet radius, orbital period, and stellar effective temperature for orbital periods less than 50 days around solar-type (GK) stars.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kepler Presearch Data Conditioning II - A Bayesian Approach to Systematic Error Correction

TL;DR: In this article, a Bayesian maximum a posteriori (MAP) approach is presented, where a subset of highly correlated and quiet stars is used to generate a cotrending basis vector set, which is in turn used to establish a range of "reasonable" robust fit parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kepler Presearch Data Conditioning I - Architecture and Algorithms for Error Correction in Kepler Light Curves

TL;DR: This article introduces the completely new and significantly improved version of Presearch Data Conditioning (PDC) which was implemented in Kepler SOC version 8.0, which reliably corrects errors in the light curves while at the same time preserving planet transits and other astrophysically interesting signals.
