KEPLER ECLIPSING BINARY STARS. I. CATALOG AND PRINCIPAL CHARACTERIZATION OF 1879 ECLIPSING BINARIES IN THE FIRST DATA RELEASE

摘要: The Kepler space mission is devoted to finding Earth-size planets orbiting other stars in their habitable zones. Its large, 105 deg2 field of view features over 156,000 that are observed continuously detect and characterize planet transits. Yet, this high-precision instrument holds great promise for types objects as well. Here we present a comprehensive catalog eclipsing binary by the first 44 days operation, data being publicly available through MAST 2010 June 15. contains 1879 unique objects. For each object, provide its ID (KID), ephemeris (BJD0, P 0), morphology type, physical parameters (T eff, log g, E(B – V)), estimate third light contamination (crowding), principal 2/T 1, q, fillout factor, sin i overcontacts, T (R 1 + R 2)/a, esin ω, ecos detached binaries). We statistics based on determined periods measure average occurrence rate binaries be ~1.2% across field. further discuss distribution function galactic latitude thoroughly explain application artificial intelligence obtain matter seconds whole sample. was envisioned serve bridge between now public scientific community interested stars.
