The Occurrence Rate of Small Planets around Small Stars
We use the optical and near-infrared photometry from the Kepler Input Catalog to provide improved estimates of the stellar characteristics of the smallest stars in the Kepler target list. We find 3897 dwarfs with temperatures below 4000K, including 64 planet candidate host stars orbited by 95 transiting planet candidates. We refit the transit events in the Kepler light curves for these planet c...
متن کاملThe Occurrence of Planets.
I wish to point out several errors and an inconsistency in Harrison Brown's report, "Planetary systems associated with main-sequence stars" (1). He begins by extrapolating the Salpeter luminosity function, which is nearly linear over an interval of 12 magnitudes, down to planetary masses. He then assumes that stars and planets are formed independently in groups of random size distribution. He c...
متن کاملSAVVY SEARCHING Deflated, inflated and phantom citation counts
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to clarify some issues regarding citation indexing, analysis and searching. Design/methodology/approach – The paper begins with a discussion on an article in the D-Lib Magazine and then focuses on deflated citation counts and inflated and phantom citation counts. Findings – The combination of the inflated citation count values dispensed by Google Scholar (...
متن کاملBayesian search for low-mass planets around nearby M dwarfs – Estimates for occurrence rate based on global detectability statistics
Due to their higher planet-star mass-ratios, M dwarfs are the easiest targets for detection of low-mass planets orbiting nearby stars using Doppler spectroscopy. Furthermore, because of their low masses and luminosities, Doppler measurements enable the detection of low-mass planets in their habitable zones that correspond to closer orbits than for Solar-type stars. We re-analyse literature UVES...
متن کاملThe False Positive Rate of Kepler and the Occurrence of Planets
The Kepler Mission is uniquely suited to study the frequencies of extrasolar planets. This goal requires knowledge of the incidence of false positives such as eclipsing binaries in the background of the targets, or physically bound to them, which can mimic the photometric signal of a transiting planet. We perform numerical simulations of the Kepler targets and of physical companions or stars in...
