Kepler Planet-Detection Mission: Introduction and First Results

William J. Borucki, +70 more
- 19 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: The Kepler mission was designed to determine the frequency of Earth-sized planets in and near the habitable zone of Sun-like stars, which is the region where planetary temperatures are suitable for water to exist on a planet's surface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characteristics of planetary candidates observed by Kepler. II. Analysis of the first four months of data

William J. Borucki, +69 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Kepler mission released data for 156,453 stars observed from the beginning of the science observations on 2009 May 2 through September 16, and there are 1235 planetary candidates with transit-like signatures detected in this period.
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.
