Kepler's Third Law and NASA's Kepler Mission

Abstract: NASA's Kepler Mission (Fig. 1) has been wildly successful in discovering exoplanets. This paper summarizes the mission goals, briefly explains the transit method of finding exoplanets and design of the mission, provides some key findings, and describes useful education materials available at the Kepler website.

“…But up to now they did not find any habitable planet similar to Earth. In 2014, the first Earth-size planet, discovered in the habitable zone of its red M-dwarf star (Kepler-186) and it is called Kepler-186f [4,5]. Except Kepler-186f, this system is consist of four extra planets so that these planets are probably rocky or at least solid [9,12].…”

“…Recently new results were presented to discovery of the first planet at a conference on 19 March 2021, and it is called Kepler-186f [1][2][3]. Accordingly, Kepler-186f, as the first Earth-size planet, located in the liveable zone of its star which is known as Kepler-186 [4,5]. Kepler-186 is a main-sequence red dwarf star, M1-type class and located by 151±18 parsecs (492±59 light years) away in the constellation of Cygnus (Fig 1).…”

“…A observação de trânsitos planetários extrassolares tem se tornado cada vez mais popular. O "Kepler Space Telescope" lançado ao espaço em 2009 forneceu dados que permitiram a descoberta de muitos exoplanetas pelo método de trânsito (GOULD et al, 2015). Mas hoje, mesmo com telescópios com configurações instrumentais modestas e instalados em regiões com poluição luminosa, é possível obter dados satisfatórios de trânsito planetário ocorrendo em estrelas brilhantes (SILVA; ROBERTO JUNIOR; ALVES, 2020).…”
