A Technique to Derive Improved Proper Motions for Kepler Objects of Interest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We outline an approach yielding proper motions with higher precision than exists in present catalogs for a sample of stars in the Kepler field. To increase proper motion precision we combine first moment centroids of Kepler pixel data from a single ...

Revised Stellar Properties of Kepler Targets for the Q1-17 (DR25) Transit Detection Run [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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 mass) of the observed stars.

PERICLES: A Set of Empirical Rotational Isochrones Modeled on Cool Dwarfs in Open Clusters and Wide Binaries

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isochrones, equal‐age curves, are widely used in astrophysics to estimate stellar ages. Classical stellar parameters are, however, very limited in their usability for main sequence stars because of their weak age‐dependence. Here, rotation period measurements provide complementary information.

Utilizing Photometry from Multiple Sources to Mitigate Stellar Variability in Precise Radial Velocities: A Case Study of Kepler-21

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present a new analysis of Kepler-21, the brightest ( V = 8.5) Kepler system with a known transiting exoplanet, Kepler-21 b. Kepler-21 b is a radius valley planet ( R = 1.6 ± 0.2 R _⊕ ) with an Earth-like composition (8.38 ± 1.62 g cm ^–3 ), though its

Properties of 249 δ Scuti Variable Star Candidates Observed During the NASA K2 Mission

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019
In the second phase of the NASA Kepler mission (K2), the Kepler spacecraft observed fields along the ecliptic plane for about 80 days each to search for planetary transits and monitor stellar variability. We analyzed the light curves of thousands of main-

The scattering outcomes of Kepler circumbinary planets: planet mass ratio

open access: yes, 2017
Recent studies reveal that the free eccentricities of Kepler-34b and Kepler-413b are much larger than their forced eccentricities, implying that the scattering events may take place in their formation.

No Evidence for Lunar Transit in New Analysis of Hubble Space Telescope Observations of the Kepler-1625 System [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
Observations of the Kepler-1625 system with Kepler and the Hubble Space Telescope have suggested the presence of a candidate exomoon, Kepler-1625b I, a Neptune-radius satellite orbiting a long-period Jovian planet.

Confirmation of a Non‐Transiting Planet in the Habitable Zone of the Nearby M Dwarf L 98‐59

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Only 40 exoplanetary systems with five or more planets are currently known. These systems are crucial for our understanding of planet formation and planet‐planet interaction. The M dwarf L 98‐59 has previously been found to show evidence of five planets, three of which are transiting.

Photometry Using Kepler “Superstamps” of Open Clusters NGC 6791 & NGC 6819

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
The Kepler space telescope has proven to be a gold mine for the study of variable stars. Usually, Kepler only reads out a handful of pixels around each pre-selected target star, omitting a large number of stars in the Kepler field.

Overcoming intra-molecular repulsions in PEDTT by sulphate counter-ion

open access: yesScience and Technology of Advanced Materials, 2021
We set out to demonstrate the development of a highly conductive polymer based on poly-(3,4-ethylenedithia thiophene) (PEDTT), PEDOTs structural analogue historically notorious for structural disorder and limited conductivities.
