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: Kepler spacecraft observations of a single Sun-like star are reported that reveal six transiting planets, five with orbital periods between 10 and 47 days and a sixth planet with a longer period, among the smallest for which mass and size have both been measured.

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.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, a wavelet-based adaptive matched filter was used to detect transiting planets in the sky flux time series of the Kepler mission. But the filter was not designed for the detection of transiting stars.
