Yearslong time series of high-precision brightness measurements have been assembled for
thousands of stars with telescopes operating in space. Such data have allowed astronomers …

Context. The Kepler spacecraft is providing time series of photometric data with
micromagnitude precision for hundreds of AF type stars. Aims. We present a first general …

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 …

We have used asteroseismology to determine fundamental properties for 66 Kepler planet-
candidate host stars, with typical uncertainties of 3% and 7% in radius and mass …

We produce and analyse eclipse time variation (ETV) curves for some 2600 Kepler binaries.
We find good to excellent evidence for a third body in 222 systems via either the light-travel …

We present results of a long-baseline interferometry campaign using the PAVO beam
combiner at the CHARA Array to measure the angular sizes of five main-sequence stars …

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 …

We present the results of a search through the photometric database of Kepler eclipsing
binaries looking for evidence of hierarchical triple-star systems. The presence of a third star …

We report eclipse timing variation analyses of 26 compact hierarchical triple stars comprised
of an eccentric eclipsing ('inner') binary and a relatively close tertiary component found in the …

We present the results of long-baseline optical interferometry observations using the
Precision Astronomical Visual Observations (PAVO) beam combiner at the Center for High …
