• STELLAR AND PLANETARY PROPERTIES OF K2 CAMPAIGN 1 CANDIDATES AND VALIDATION OF 17 PLANETS, INCLUDING A PLANET RECEIVING EARTH-LIKE INSOLATION (2015, background): “The Kepler telescope (Borucki et al. 2010) has led to a revolution in stellar and planetary astrophysics, with 7305 “objects of interest” and 4173 “planet candidates” discovered to date (Borucki et al. 2011a, 2011b; Batalha et al. 2013; Burke et al. 2014; Mullally et al. 2015; Rowe et al. 2015).”
• REVEALING A UNIVERSAL PLANET–METALLICITY CORRELATION FOR PLANETS OF DIFFERENT SIZES AROUND SOLAR-TYPE STARS (2013, background): “The NASA Kepler mission (Borucki et al. 2010) has been a tremendous success in finding transiting exoplanets.”
• PLATO as it is: a legacy mission for Galactic archaeology (2017, positive): “For giants, the current age estimates are very uncertain (for instance those based on C and N spectral features, e.g., Martig et al. 2016; Masseron & Gilmore 2015) and more precise age estimates mainly rely on relatively small asteroseismic datasets from Kepler (Borucki et al. 2010), K2 (Howell et a”
• Asteroseismology of red giants from the first four months of Kepler data: Fundamental stellar parameters (2010, background): “The NASA Kepler Mission (Borucki et al. 2008, 2010) was launched in March 2009 with the primary goal of searching for transits of Earth-sized planets in and near the habitable zon s of Sun-like stars.”
• KEPLER OBSERVATIONS OF RAPID OPTICAL VARIABILITY IN ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI (2011, background): “The Kepler mission (Borucki et al. 2010) provides a solution to these observational difficulties.”
• The first data release (DR1) of the LAMOST regular survey (2015, positive): “For this comparison,Teff and [Fe/H] come from the high resolution spectra, while log g comes from theKepler (Borucki et al. 2010) asteroseismic estimation.”
• Angular momentum transport by heat-driven g-modes in slowly pulsating B stars (2017, result): “In support of our hypothesis, the recent study of five SPB stars by Pápics et al. (2017), based on data from the Kepler mission (Borucki et al. 2010), appears to confirm that the stars’ variability is dominated by prograde modes.”
• They are small worlds after all: revised properties of Kepler M dwarf stars and their planets (2015, background): “Another bound was the launch of the NASA Kepler spacecraft in 2009, which monitored about ⋆ E-mail: gaidos@hawaii.edu 200,000 stars for up to four years in search of transiting planets (Borucki et al. 2010).”
• An ALMA Survey of Protoplanetary Disks in the σ Orionis Cluster (2017, background): “The resulting exoplanet population is diverse, as revealed by the Kepler transit survey (Borucki et al. 2010) and long-term radial velocity (RV) surveys (Howard et al. 2010; Mayor et al. 2011).”
• Confirmation of the Gaia DR2 Parallax Zero-point Offset Using Asteroseismology and Spectroscopy in the Kepler Field (2018, result): “Comparing these results for relatively nearby stars to results from more distant giants with parallaxes of less than 1masderived from Kepler data (Borucki et al. 2010) indicated the presence of a fractional zero-point offset (De Ridder et al. 2016; Davies et al. 2017; Huber et al. 2017).”
• THE IMPACT OF STELLAR MULTIPLICITY ON PLANETARY SYSTEMS. I. THE RUINOUS INFLUENCE OF CLOSE BINARY COMPANIONS (2016, background): “…transit searches have discovered nearly 1000 confirmed planets around other stars (Wright et al. 2011) and thousands of additional candidates (Borucki et al. 2010; Batalha et al. 2013; Burke et al. 2014), revolutionizing the demography of planetary systems (e.g., Fischer & Valenti 2005;…”
• Optimized transit detection algorithm to search for periodic transits of small planets (2019, background): “…as HATNet (Bakos et al. 2004), WASP (Pollacco et al. 2006), KELT (Pepper et al. 2007), and CHESPA (Zhang et al. 2018), and space-based search campaigns like CoRoT (Auvergne et al. 2009), Kepler (Borucki et al. 2010), K2 (Howell et al. 2014), and TESS (Ricker et al. 2014) produced vast data sets.”
