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.

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.

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.

Kepler Presearch Data Conditioning II - A Bayesian Approach to Systematic Error Correction
Jeffrey C. Smith,Martin C. Stumpe,Jeffrey Van Cleve,Jon M. Jenkins,Thomas Barclay,Michael N. Fanelli,Forrest R. Girouard,Jeffery J. Kolodziejczak,Sean McCauliff,Robert L. Morris,Joseph D. Twicken +10 more
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.

Kepler Presearch Data Conditioning I - Architecture and Algorithms for Error Correction in Kepler Light Curves
Martin C. Stumpe,Jeffrey C. Smith,Jeffrey Van Cleve,Joseph D. Twicken,Thomas Barclay,Michael N. Fanelli,Forrest R. Girouard,Jon M. Jenkins,Jeffery J. Kolodziejczak,Sean McCauliff,Robert L. Morris +10 more
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.
