The Kepler Mission Science Operations Center (SOC) performs several critical functions including managing the ~156,000 target stars, associated tables, science data compression tables and parameters, as well processing raw photometric downlinked from spacecraft each month. are first calibrated at pixel level to correct for bias, smear induced by a shutterless readout, other detector electronic effects. A background sky flux is estimated ~4500 pixels on of 84 CCD readout channels, simple...
We report on the discovery and Rossiter–McLaughlin (R-M) effect of Kepler-8b, a transiting planet identified by NASA Kepler Mission. photometry Keck-HIRES radial velocities yield radius mass around this F8IV subgiant host star. The has RP = 1.419 RJ MP 0.60 MJ, yielding density 0.26 g cm−3, one lowest planetary densities known. orbital period is P 3.523 days semimajor axis 0.0483+0.0006−0.0012 AU. star large rotational vsin i 10.5 ± 0.7 km s−1 relatively faint (V ≈ 13.89 mag); both...
Abstract We present the occurrence rates for rocky planets in habitable zones (HZs) of main-sequence dwarf stars based on Kepler DR25 planet candidate catalog and Gaia-based stellar properties. provide first analysis terms star-dependent instellation flux, which allows us to track HZ planets. define η ⊕ as with radii between 0.5 1.5 R orbiting effective temperatures 4800 6300 K. find that conservative is <?CDATA ${0.37}_{-0.21}^{+0.48}$?> (errors reflect 68% credible intervals)...
The aim of this project is to extend accurate and patient-specific treatment planning new modalities, such as molecular targeted radiation therapy, incorporating previously crafted proven Monte Carlo deterministic computation methods. A flexible software environment being created that allows for these modalities combining different forms with consideration biological effects. system uses common input interfaces, medical image sets definition patient geometry dose reporting protocols....
We give an overview of the operational concepts and architecture Kepler Science Processing Pipeline. Designed, developed, operated, maintained by Operations Center (SOC) at NASA Ames Research Center, Pipeline is a central element Ground Data System. The SOC consists office software development operations departments, data center which hosts computers required to perform analysis. SOC's charter analyze stellar photometric from spacecraft report results Office for further describe how this...
Researchers at the INEEL, MSU, LLNL and UCD have undertaken development of MINERVA, a patient-centric, multi-modal, radiation treatment planning system, which can be used for analysing several radiotherapy modalities, either singly or combined, using common tools. It employs an integrated, lightweight plugin architecture to accommodate multi-modal standard interface components. The design also facilitates future integration improved technologies. code is being developed with Java programming...
