Abstract:
In the spring of 2009, the Kepler Mission commenced high-precision
photometry on nearly 156000 stars to determine the frequency and
characteristics of small exoplanets, conduct a guest observer program,
and obtain asteroseismic data on a wide variety of stars. On 2010 June
15, the Kepler Mission released most of the data from the first
quarter of observations. At the time of this data release, 705 stars
from this first data set have exoplanet candidates with sizes from as
small as that of Earth to larger than that of Jupiter. Here we give
the identity and characteristics of 305 released stars with planetary
candidates. Data for the remaining 400 stars with planetary candidates
will be released in 2011 February. More than half the candidates on
the released list have radii less than half that of Jupiter. Five
candidates are present in and near the habitable zone; two near
super-Earth size, and three bracketing the size of Jupiter. The
released stars also include five possible multi-planet systems. One of
these has two Neptune-size (2.3 and 2.5 Earth radius) candidates with
near-resonant periods.
