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

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

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.

Kepler-16: A Transiting Circumbinary Planet

TL;DR: The detection of a planet whose orbit surrounds a pair of low-mass stars, comparable to Saturn in mass and size and on a nearly circular 229-day orbit around its two parent stars, suggests that the planet formed within a circumbinary disk.
