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.

Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler, III: Analysis of the First 16 Months of Data

Natalie M. Batalha, +72 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the noise-weighted robust averaging of multi-quarter photo-center offsets derived from difference image analysis, which identifies likely background eclipsing binaries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kepler-22b: a 2.4 Earth-radius Planet in the Habitable Zone of a Sun-like Star

William J. Borucki, +86 more
TL;DR: A search of the time-series photometry from NASA's Kepler spacecraft reveals a transiting planet candidate orbiting the 11th magnitude G5 dwarf KIC 10593626 with a period of 290 days as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcium sulfate veins characterized by ChemCam/Curiosity at Gale crater, Mars

TL;DR: The Curiosity rover has analyzed abundant light-toned fracture-fill material within the Yellowknife Bay sedimentary deposits as mentioned in this paper, showing that these fracture fills consist of calcium sulfate veins, which appear to be hydrated at a level expected for gypsum and bassanite.
