VERY LOW DENSITY PLANETS AROUND KEPLER-51 REVEALED WITH TRANSIT TIMING VARIATIONS AND AN ANOMALY SIMILAR TO A PLANET–PLANET …

K Masuda - The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an analysis of the transit timing variations (TTVs) in the multi-transiting planetary
system around Kepler-51 (KOI-620). This system consists of two confirmed transiting …

The Kepler-19 system: a transiting 2.2 R⊕ planet and a second planet detected via transit timing variations

S Ballard, D Fabrycky, F Fressin… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the discovery of the Kepler-19 planetary system, which we first identified from a
9.3 day periodic transit signal in the Kepler photometry. From high-resolution spectroscopy …

Discovery of the transiting planet Kepler-5b

DG Koch, WJ Borucki, JF Rowe… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We present 44 days of high duty cycle, ultra precise photometry of the 13th magnitude star
Kepler-5 (KIC 8191672, T eff= 6300 K, log g= 4.1), which exhibits periodic transits with a …

Transit timing observations from Kepler – VII. Confirmation of 27 planets in 13 multiplanet systems via transit timing variations and orbital stability

JH Steffen, DC Fabrycky, E Agol, EB Ford… - Monthly Notices of …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
We confirm 27 planets in 13 planetary systems by showing the existence of statistically
significant anticorrelated transit timing variations, which demonstrates that the planet …

A dynamical analysis of the Kepler-80 system of five transiting planets

MG MacDonald, D Ragozzine… - The Astronomical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Kepler has discovered hundreds of systems with multiple transiting exoplanets which hold
tremendous potential both individually and collectively for understanding the formation and …

Transit timing observations from Kepler – III. Confirmation of four multiple planet systems by a Fourier-domain study of anticorrelated transit timing variations

JH Steffen, DC Fabrycky, EB Ford… - Monthly Notices of …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
We present a method to confirm the planetary nature of objects in systems with multiple
transiting exoplanet candidates. This method involves a Fourier-domain analysis of the …

Characterizing long-period transiting planets observed by Kepler

JC Yee, BS Gaudi - The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
Kepler will monitor a sufficient number of stars that it is likely to detect single transits of
planets with periods longer than the mission lifetime. We show that by combining the …

Architecture and dynamics of Kepler's candidate multiple transiting planet systems

JJ Lissauer, D Ragozzine, DC Fabrycky… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …
