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.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive catalog of eclipsing binary stars observed by Kepler in the first 44 days of operation, the data being publicly available through MAST as of 2010 June 15.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a catalog of 1879 eclipsing binary systems identified within the 115-deg2 Kepler field of view (FOV), augmented with the second Kepler data release which increases the baseline nearly fourfold to 125 days.

TL;DR: In this article, the angular momentum of the primary star was investigated based on Kepler photometry and Keck spectroscopy, and it was shown that the three largest sources of angular momentum (the stellar orbit, the planetary orbit, and the primary's rotation) are all closely aligned.

TL;DR: In this article, the angular momentum of the primary star was investigated based on Kepler photometry and Keck spectroscopy, and it was found that the rotation period of the star is 35.1 +/- 1.0 days and its projected obliquity with respect to the stellar binary orbit is 1.6 +/- 2.4 degrees.
