We present an improved estimate of the occurrence rate of small planets orbiting small stars
by searching the full four-year Kepler data set for transiting planets using our own planet …

We show that terrestrial planets in the habitable zones of M dwarfs older than∼ 1 Gyr could
have been in runaway greenhouses for several hundred million years following their …

The determination of exoplanet properties and occurrence rates using Kepler data critically
depends on our knowledge of the fundamental properties (such as temperature, radius, and …

The Kepler Mission is exploring the diversity of planets and planetary systems. Its legacy will
be a catalog of discoveries sufficient for computing planet occurrence rates as a function of …

We present results from high-resolution, optical to near-IR imaging of host stars of Kepler
Objects of Interest (KOIs), identified in the original Kepler field. Part of the data were …

We present metallicities, radial velocities, and near-infrared (NIR) spectral types for 447 M
dwarfs determined from moderate resolution (R≈ 2000) NIR spectra obtained with the …

We present a statistical analysis of the Kepler M dwarf planet hosts, with a particular focus
on the fractional number of systems hosting multiple transiting planets. We manufacture …

We report on the discovery and validation of Kepler-452b, a transiting planet identified by a
search through the 4 years of data collected by NASA's Kepler Mission. This possibly rocky …

We use moderate-resolution spectra of nearby late K and M dwarf stars with parallaxes and
interferometrically determined radii to refine their effective temperatures, luminosities, and …

We present an investigation of 12 candidate transiting planets from Kepler with orbital
periods ranging from 34 to 207 days, selected from initial indications that they are small and …
