Robert W. Slawson,Andrej Prša,William F. Welsh,Jerome A. Orosz,Michael Rucker,Natalie M. Batalha,Laurance R. Doyle,Scott G. Engle,Kyle E. Conroy,Jared Coughlin,Trevor Ames Gregg,Tara Fetherolf,Donald R. Short,Gur Windmiller,Daniel C. Fabrycky,Steve B. Howell,Jon M. Jenkins,Kamal Uddin,Fergal Mullally,Shawn Seader,Susan E. Thompson,Dwight T. Sanderfer,William J. Borucki,David Koch +23 more
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: The final catalog of eclipsing binary systems within the 105 deg^2 Kepler field of view is presented in this paper, where the authors identify several classes of systems including those that exhibit tertiary eclipse events, systems that show clear evidence of additional bodies, heartbeat systems, and systems exhibiting only one eclipse event over the duration of the mission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Terrestrial Planet Occurrence Rates for the Kepler GK Dwarf Sample
Christopher J. Burke,Jessie L. Christiansen,Fergal Mullally,Shawn Seader,Daniel Huber,Daniel Huber,Daniel Huber,Jason F. Rowe,Jeffrey L. Coughlin,Susan E. Thompson,Joseph Catanzarite,Bruce D. Clarke,Timothy D. Morton,Douglas A. Caldwell,Stephen T. Bryson,Michael R. Haas,Natalie M. Batalha,Jon M. Jenkins,Peter Tenenbaum,Joseph D. Twicken,Jie Li,Elisa V. Quintana,Thomas Barclay,Christopher E. Henze,William J. Borucki,Steve B. Howell,Martin Still +26 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the Kepler GK dwarf target sample for planet radii and orbital periods, with an emphasis on a thorough exploration and identification of the most important sources of systematic uncertainties.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the photometric precision achieved on timescales relevant to transit detection for data obtained in the 33.5 day long Quarter 1 (Q1) observations that ended 2009 June 15.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of kepler's multiple planet candidates. ii. refined statistical framework and descriptions of systems of special interest
Jack J. Lissauer,Geoffrey W. Marcy,Stephen T. Bryson,Jason F. Rowe,Jason F. Rowe,Daniel Jontof-Hutter,Eric Agol,William J. Borucki,Joshua A. Carter,Eric B. Ford,Ronald L. Gilliland,Rea Kolbl,Kimberly M. Star,Jason H. Steffen,Guillermo Torres +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the overwhelming majority of Kepler candidate multiple transiting systems (multis) represents true transiting planets, and develop therefrom a procedure to validate large numbers of planet candidates in multis as bona fide exoplanets.
