Kepler-16: a transiting circumbinary planet.
We report the detection of a planet whose orbit surrounds a pair of low-mass stars. Data from the Kepler spacecraft reveal transits of the planet across both stars, in addition to the mutual eclipses of the stars, giving precise constraints on the absolute dimensions of all three bodies. The planet is comparable to Saturn in mass and size and is on a nearly circular 229-day orbit around its two...
متن کاملInfluence of Stellar Multiplicity on Planet Formation. Iv. Adaptive Optics Imaging of Kepler Stars with Multiple Transiting Planet Candidates
The Kepler mission provides a wealth of multiple transiting planet systems (MTPSs). The formation and evolution of multi-planet systems are likely to be influenced by companion stars given the abundance of multiple stellar systems. We study the influence of stellar companions by measuring the stellar multiplicity rate of MTPSs. We select 138 bright (KP < 13.5) Kepler MTPSs and search for stella...
متن کاملPossible Transiting Planet Candidates from the EXPLORE Project
The EXPLORE Project is a series of searches for transiting extra-solar planets using large-format mosaic CCD cameras on 4-m class telescopes. Radial velocity follow-up is done on transiting planet candidates with 8–10m class telescopes. We present a summary of transit candidates from the EXPLORE Project for which we have radial velocity data. 1 2 Mallén-Ornelas et al.
متن کاملThe exoplanet eccentricity distribution from Kepler planet candidates
The eccentricity distribution of exoplanets is known from radial velocity surveys to be divergent from circular orbits beyond 0.1 au. This is particularly the case for large planets where the radial velocity technique is most sensitive. The eccentricity of planetary orbits can have a large effect on the transit probability and subsequently the planet yield of transit surveys. The Kepler mission...
متن کاملA transiting planet among 23 new near-threshold candidates from the OGLE survey -- OGLE-TR-182
By re-processing the data of the second season of the OGLE survey for planetary transits and adding new mesurements on the same fields gathered in subsequent years with the OGLE telescope, we have identified 23 new transit candidates, recorded as OGLE-TR178 to OGLE-TR-200. We studied the nature of these objects with the FLAMES/UVES multi-fiber spectrograph on the VLT. One of the candidates, OGL...
