Binary stars are as common as single stars. Binary stars are of immense importance to
astrophysicists because that they allow us to determine the masses of the stars independent …

Abstract The Kepler Mission is a space observatory launched in 2009 by NASA to monitor
170 000 stars over a period of four years to determine the frequency of Earth-size and larger …

Context. Gaia DR3 contains 1.8 billion sources with G-band photometry, 1.5 billion of which
with G BP and G RP photometry, complemented by positions on the sky, parallax, and …

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 …

ABSTRACT The primary Kepler Mission provided nearly continuous monitoring of∼
200,000 objects with unprecedented photometric precision. We present the final catalog of …

ABSTRACT The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a NASA-sponsored
Explorer mission that will perform a wide-field survey for planets that transit bright host stars …

We analyzed three years of data from the Kepler space mission to derive rotation periods of
main-sequence stars below 6500 K. Our automated autocorrelation-based method detected …

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 …

PLATO 2.0 has recently been selected for ESA's M3 launch opportunity (2022/24). Providing
accurate key planet parameters (radius, mass, density and age) in statistical numbers, it …

New transiting planet candidates are identified in 16 months (2009 May–2010 September)
of data from the Kepler spacecraft. Nearly 5000 periodic transit-like signals are vetted …
