Slides from
Heather Knutson's "From Hot Jupiters to Super-Earths" talk
at the Kepler Science Conference II (Nov 2013), plus some
added material.
The Kepler Light Curve of HAT-P-7 Director's Uncut Version
presented to the Kepler Science Team (Jan 2010).
The Discovery of Ellipsoidal Variations in the Kepler Light Curve of
HAT-P-7
by Welsh, Orosz, Sara Seager, Jonathan Fortney, Jon Jenkins, Jason Rowe,
Dave Koch, and Bill Borucki
Exploring exoplanet populations with NASA's Kepler Mission
Natalie Batalha 2014 PNRAS 111, 12647
The Occurence Rate of Small Planets
Around Small Stars by Courtney Dressing and Dave Charbonneau (2013)
Josh Winn's
Transits And Occultations chapter
in Sarah Sager's book "Exoplanets" (the recommended additional reading
reference for this course). This is an outstanding technical reference
about transiting exoplanets.

Hubble Space Telescope Time-Series Photometry of the Transiting Planet
HD 209458
by Tim Brown, Dave Charbonneau, Ron Gilliland, Bob Noyes, and Adam Burrows
(2001 ApJ 552, 699). This is the famous paper that kick-started the field of
high-precision transit science. In my opinion, this is the second most important
exoplanet paper ever published, after the 51 Peg paper by Mayor and Queloz.
System Parameters of the Transiting Extrasolar planet HD 209458b
by Rob Wittenmyer, et al. (2005 ApJ 632, 1157). Rob was an SDSU grad student
and did most of this work for his MS Thesis.
The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect for
exoplanets - Josh Winn
Planets in Spin-Orbit Misalignments and the
Search for Stellar Companions - Brett Addison, et al.
On Using the Rossiter-McLaughlin Effect to
Detect Terrestrial Planets - Welsh & Orosz
Some very basic intro applet simulations about orbits from the Univ.
Nebraska - Lincoln. These used to be Flash apps, but since Flash is
no longer used, you need to install the app. Get the "NAAP Labs" software.
