Architecture of Kepler s multi-transiting systems. II. New investigations with twice as many candidates
...Published in The Astrophysical Journal
We report on the orbital architectures of Kepler systems having multiple-planet candidates identified in the analysis of data from the first six quarters of Kepler data and reported by Batalha et al.(2013). These data show 899 transiting planet candidates in 365 multiple-planet systems and provide a powerful means to study the statistical propertie...

Kepler Presearch Data Conditioning II - A Bayesian Approach to Systematic Error Correction
...Published in arXiv preprint arXiv:1602.03204
With the unprecedented photometric precision of the Kepler spacecraft, significant systematic and stochastic errors on transit signal levels are observable in the Kepler photometric data. These errors, which include discontinuities, outliers, systematic trends, and other instrumental signatures, obscure astrophysical signals. The presearch data con...

Kepler Mission Stellar and Instrument Noise Properties
...
Kepler Mission results are rapidly contributing to fundamentally new discoveries in both the exoplanet and asteroseismology fields. The data returned from Kepler are unique in terms of the number of stars observed, precision of photometry for time series observations, and the temporal extent of high duty cycle observations. As the first mission to ...
The Kepler Cluster Study: Stellar Rotation in NGC6811
...
We present rotation periods for 71 single dwarf members of the open cluster NGC6811 determined using photometry from NASA's Kepler Mission. The results are the first from The Kepler Cluster Study which combine Kepler's photometry with ground-based spectroscopy for cluster membership and binarity. The rotation periods delineate a tight sequence in t...

In-flight photometric performance of the 96Mpx focal plane array assembly for NASA s Kepler exoplanet mission
Kepler is NASA s first space mission dedicated to the study of exoplanets. The primary scientific goal is statistical-to estimate the frequency of planetary systems associated with sun-like stars. Kepler was launched into an Earth-trailing heliocentric" drift-away" orbit in March 2009, and is monitoring 150,000 stars. The instrument detects the fai...
New Developments in the Kepler Science Operations Center Pipeline Build 7.0
...
The Kepler Science Pipeline provides calibrated pixels, simple and systematic error- corrected aperture photometry, and centroid locations for all 165,000 Long Cadence (LC) target stars sampled at 29.5 min integrations, along with associated uncertainties. Based on the first 44 days of data collected by Kepler, over 700 planetary candidates have be...
Assessing the Nature and Impact of Observed Stellar Variability on Kepler s Ability to Detect Earth-Size Planets
...
The Kepler spacecraft was launched on March 6 2009 on a 3.5-year mission to determine the frequency of Earth-size and larger planets in or near the habitable zones of their stars. Kepler has been observing 160,000 stars to detect transiting planets for over two years and has discovered more than 16 confirmed or validated planets and has identified ...
