Revising Properties of Planet–Host Binary Systems. III. There Is No Observed Radius Gap for Kepler Planets in Binary Star Systems by Kendall Sullivan, Adam L. Kraus, Daniel Huber, Erik A. Petigura, Elise Evans, Trent Dupuy, Jingwen Zhang, Travis A. Berger, Eric Gaidos, Andrew W. Mann

“…We have analyzed the properties of a sample of 119 planet-host binary stars from the Kepler mission to study the underlying population of planets in binaries that fall in and around the radius valley, which is a demographic feature in period–radius space that marks the transition from predominantly rocky to predominantly gaseous planets. …”

CHARACTERIZING THE COOL KOIs. III. KOI 961: A SMALL STAR WITH LARGE PROPER MOTION AND THREE SMALL PLANETS by Muirhead, Philip S., Johnson, John Asher, Apps, Kevin, Carter, Joshua Adam, Morton, Timothy D., Fabrycky, Daniel C., Pineda, John Sebastian, Bottom, Michael, Schlawin, Everett, Hamren, Katherine, Covey, Kevin R., Crepp, Justin R., Pepper, Joshua, Hebb, Leslie, Kirby, Evan N., Howard, Andrew W., Isaacson, Howard, Marcy, Geoffrey W., Levitan, David, Diaz-Santos, Tanio, Armus, Lee, Lloyd, James P., Stassun, Keivan, Rojas-Ayala, Barbara

“…We characterize the star KOI 961, an M dwarf with transit signals indicative of three short-period exoplanets discovered by the Kepler mission. We proceed by comparing KOI 961 to Barnard's Star, a nearby, well-characterized mid-M dwarf. …”

Revisiting the Impact of Stellar Magnetic Activity on the Detectability of Solar-Like Oscillations by Kepler by Savita Mathur, Savita Mathur, Rafael A. García, Rafael A. García, Lisa Bugnet, Lisa Bugnet, Ângela R.G. Santos, Netsha Santiago, Paul G. Beck, Paul G. Beck, Paul G. Beck

“…Over 2,000 stars were observed for 1 month with a high enough cadence in order to look for acoustic modes during the survey phase of the Kepler mission. Solar-like oscillations have been detected in about 540 stars. …”

A Search for Additional Planets in the Nasa Epoxi Observations of the Exoplanet System Gj 436 by Seager, Sara, Ballard, Sarah, Christiansen, Jessie L., Charbonneau, David, Deming, Drake, Holman, Matthew J., Fabrycky, Daniel C., A'Hearn, Michael F., Wellnitz, Dennis D., Barry, Richard K., Kuchner, Marc J., Livengood, Timothy A., Hewagama, Tilak, Sunshine, Jessica M., Hampton, Don L., Lisse, Carey M., Veverka, Joseph F.

“…Our analysis should serve as a useful guide for similar analyses of transiting exoplanets for which radial velocity measurements are not available, such as those discovered by the Kepler mission. From the lack of observed secular perturbations, we set upper limits on the mass of a second planet as small as 10 M [subscript ⊕] in coplanar orbits and 1 M [subscript ⊕] in non-coplanar orbits close to GJ 436b. …”

On the Quality of Deep Representations for Kepler Light Curves Using Variational Auto-Encoders by Francisco Mena, Patricio Olivares, Margarita Bugueño, Gabriel Molina, Mauricio Araya

“…To assess our approach, we used the largest transit light curve dataset obtained during the 4 years of the Kepler mission and compared to similar techniques in signal processing and light curves. …”

A 38 Million Year Old Neptune-sized Planet in the Kepler Field by L. G. Bouma, J. L. Curtis, K. Masuda, L. A. Hillenbrand, G. Stefansson, H. Isaacson, N. Narita, A. Fukui, M. Ikoma, M. Tamura, A. L. Kraus, E. Furlan, C. L. Gnilka, K. V. Lester, S. B. Howell

“…To our knowledge, this makes Kepler 1627Ab the youngest planet with a precise age yet found by the prime Kepler mission. The Kepler photometry shows two peculiarities: the average transit profile is asymmetric, and the individual transit times might be correlated with the local light-curve slope. …”

Characterization of Low-mass Companions to Kepler Objects of Interest Observed with APOGEE-N by Caleb I. Cañas, Chad F. Bender, Suvrath Mahadevan, Dmitry Bizyaev, Nathan De Lee, Scott W. Fleming, Fred Hearty, Steven R. Majewski, Christian Nitschelm, Donald P. Schneider, Javier Serna, Keivan G. Stassun, Guđmundur Stefánsson, Guy S. Stringfellow, John C. Wilson

“…These objects were detected as transiting companions to Sunlike stars (G and F dwarfs) by the Kepler mission and are confirmed as single-lined spectroscopic binaries in the current work using the northern multiplexed Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment near-infrared spectrograph (APOGEE-N) as part of the third and fourth Sloan Digital Sky Surveys. …”
