The hierarchical triple-body approximation has useful applications to a variety of systems
from planetary and stellar scales to supermassive black holes. In this approximation, the …

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 …

Circumbinary planets, those that orbit around both stars of a central binary star system,
challenge our understanding of planet formation. With only 12 binary systems known to host …

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

The determination of exoplanet properties and occurrence rates using Kepler data critically
depends on our knowledge of the fundamental properties (such as temperature, radius, and …

The search for habitable planets has revealed many planets that can vary greatly from an
Earth analog environment. These include highly eccentric orbits, giant planets, different bulk …

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 report the first discovery of a transiting circumbinary planet detected from a single sector
of Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) data. During Sector 21, the planet TIC …

Of the nine confirmed transiting circumbinary planet systems, only Kepler-47 is known to
contain more than one planet. Kepler-47 b (the" inner planet") has an orbital period of 49.5 …

Abstract The Minerva-Australis telescope array is a facility dedicated to the follow-up,
confirmation, characterization, and mass measurement of planets orbiting bright stars …
