MODELING KEPLER TRANSIT LIGHT CURVES AS FALSE POSITIVES: REJECTION OF BLEND SCENARIOS FOR KEPLER-9, AND VALIDATION OF KEPLER-9 d, A SUPER-EARTH-SIZE PLANET IN A MULTIPLE SYSTEM
Light curves from the Kepler Mission contain valuable information on the nature of the phenomena producing the transit-like signals. To assist in exploring the possibility that they are due to an astrophysical false positive, we describe a procedure (BLENDER) to model the photometry in terms of a “blend” rather than a planet orbiting a star. A blend may consist of a background or foreground ecl...
متن کاملKepler-68: Three Planets, One with a Density between That of Earth and Ice Giants
NASA’s Kepler Mission has revealed two transiting planets orbiting Kepler-68. Follow-up Doppler measurements have established the mass of the innermost planet and revealed a third jovian-mass planet orbiting beyond the two transiting planets. Kepler-68b, in a 5.4 day orbit, has MP = 8.3 +2.2 −2.4 M⊕, RP = 2.31 +0.06 −0.09 R⊕, and ρP = 3.32 +0.86 −0.98 g cm , giving Kepler-68b a density intermed...
متن کاملHigh-resolution Multi-band Imaging for Validation and Characterization of Small Kepler Planets
High-resolution ground-based optical speckle and near-infrared adaptive optics images are taken to search for stars in close angular proximity to host stars of candidate planets identified by the NASA Kepler Mission. Neighboring stars are a potential source of false positive signals. These stars also blend into Kepler light curves, affecting estimated planet properties, and are important for an...
متن کاملA Catalog of Kepler Habitable Zone Exoplanet Candidates
The NASA Kepler mission ha s discovered thousands of new planetary candidates, many of which have been confirmed through follow-up observations. A primary goal of the mission is to determine the occurrence rate of terrestrial-size planets within the Habitable Zone (HZ) of their host stars. Here we provide a list of HZ exoplanet candidates from the Kepler Q1–Q17 Data Release 24 data-vetting proc...
متن کاملSearching for exoplanets in the Kepler public data
NASA’s Kepler mission to search for extrasolar planets has collected data from hundreds of thousands of star systems, and has discovered nearly 1000 confirmed exoplanets to date in addition to over 3000 unconfirmed candidates. The mission detects exoplanets using transit photometry, which detects the transit of a planet in front of a star as transient drops in stellar intensity. Raw data is col...
