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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the identity and characteristics of 305 released stars with planetary candidates are given, and five candidates are present in and near the habitable zone; two near super-Earth size, and three bracketing the size of Jupiter.

TL;DR: In this article, M.M.H. and M.J.C. acknowledge support provided for this work by the National Science Foundation through grant number======GF-1002-96 from the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under NSF Cooperative Agreement No. AST-8947990 and from Fundacion Andes under======Project C-12984.

TL;DR: In this paper, a compilation of UBV RIz light curves of 51 type II supernovae discovered during the course of four different surveys during 1986 to 2003 is presented, where the photometry is based on template-subtracted images to eliminate any potential host galaxy light contamination, and calibrated from foreground stars.

TL;DR: In this article, the first simultaneous radio, X-ray, ultraviolet, and optical spectroscopic observations of the M8.5 dwarf TVLM 513-46546 were presented.
