The Kepler mission has detected dozens of compact planetary systems with more than four
transiting planets. This sample provides a collection of close-packed planetary systems with …

The Kepler mission has detected thousands of planetary systems with one to seven
transiting planets packed within 0.7 au from their host stars. There is an apparent excess of …

The planet candidates discovered by the Kepler mission provide a rich sample to constrain
the architectures and relative inclinations of planetary systems within approximately 0.5 AU …

Motivated by the large number of compact extrasolar planetary systems discovered by the
Kepler mission, this paper considers perturbations due to possible additional outer planets …

Early analyses of exoplanet statistics from the Kepler mission revealed that a model
population of multiplanet systems with low mutual inclinations (∼ 1–2) adequately describes …

About one-third of the∼ 1200 transiting planet candidates detected in the first four months of
Kepler data are members of multiple candidate systems. There are 115 target stars with two …

We study the orbital architecture of multi-planet systems detected by the Kepler transit
mission using N-body simulations, focusing on the orbital spacing between adjacent planets …

This paper considers whether the population of known transiting exoplanets provides
evidence for additional outer planets on inclined orbits, due to the perturbing effect of such …

We explore the effects of an undetected outer giant planet on the dynamics, observability,
and stability of Systems with Tightly-packed Inner Planets (STIPs). We use direct numerical …

The outer architectures of Kepler's compact systems of multiple transiting planets remain
poorly constrained, and few of these systems have lower bounds on the orbital distance of …
