We introduce a Bayesian method for guiding future directions for detection of life on
exoplanets. We describe empirical and theoretical work necessary to place constraints on …

Compared to the Earth, the exoplanet Kepler-78b has a similar size (1.2 R⊕) and an orbital
period a thousand times shorter (8.5 h). It is currently the smallest planet for which the mass …

We present 2241 exoplanet candidates identified with data from the Transiting Exoplanet
Survey Satellite (TESS) during its 2 yr Prime Mission. We list these candidates in the TESS …

This paper discusses the transit model-fitting and multiple-planet search algorithms and
performance of the Kepler Science Data Processing Pipeline, developed by the Kepler …

Abstract The Kepler Mission was designed to identify and characterize transiting planets in
the Kepler Field of View and to determine their occurrence rates. Emphasis was placed on …

Abstract The California-Kepler Survey (CKS) is an observational program developed to
improve our knowledge of the properties of stars found to host transiting planets by NASA's …

We characterize the occurrence rate of planets, ranging in size from 0.5 to 16 R⊕, orbiting
FGK stars with orbital periods from 0.5 to 500 days. Our analysis is based on results from …

Observations of exoplanetary systems provide clues about the intrinsic distribution of
planetary systems, their architectures, and how they formed. We develop a forward …

We present the occurrence rates for rocky planets in the habitable zones (HZs) of main-
sequence dwarf stars based on the Kepler DR25 planet candidate catalog and Gaia-based …

Abstract We present the Kepler Object of Interest (KOI) catalog of transiting exoplanets
based on searching 4 yr of Kepler time series photometry (Data Release 25, Q1–Q17). The …
