We report the distribution of planets as a function of planet radius, orbital period, and stellar
effective temperature for orbital periods less than 50 days around solar-type (GK) stars. …

The size of a planet is an observable property directly connected to the physics of its formation
and evolution. We used precise radius measurements from the California-Kepler Survey …

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 against …

Determining whether Earth-like planets are common or rare looms as a touchstone in the
question of life in the universe. We searched for Earth-size planets that cross in front of their …

Correlations between stellar properties and the occurrence rate of exoplanets can be used
to inform the target selection of future planet-search efforts and provide valuable clues about …

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will search for planets transiting bright
and nearby stars. TESS has been selected by NASA for launch in 2017 as an Astrophysics …

The questions of how planets form and how common Earth-like planets are can be addressed
by measuring the distribution of exoplanet masses and orbital periods. We report the …

We provide evidence that the obliquities of stars with close-in giant planets were initially
nearly random, and that the low obliquities that are often observed are a consequence of star–…

Type Ia supernovae have been used empirically as ‘standard candles’ to demonstrate the
acceleration of the expansion of the Universe 1 , 2 , 3 even though fundamental details, such …

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 …
