KIC10024862 - 600 day Eclipsing Binary or Planet?

This transit occurred in the fourth quarter of the Kepler data release in 2011. Now in Q9, another significant drop has occurred.

Here is the analysis from forum Talk member Kian Jek:

Very nice 17hr drop. Could be a 0.84x RJ planet from the transit profile. However, the Q4 transit appears to have a similar duration, so it's possible that this is a long period, P > 600d, EB and with the secondary eclipse in Q4 and the primary in Q9.

KIC 2581316 - Unlisted Planet Candidate or Eclipsing Binary?

Planet Hunters forum Talk members flagged this transit for KIC 2581316 around May of 2011. There are now four observed transits through quarter 9 in the released Kepler data set. It appears that this transit was originally flagged as a false positive, but no longer appears on that list. The star has a magnitude of 11.69.

Q9 time plot

Here is Kian Jek's comment:

"From the profile it looks like a classic planetary transit, and may not be an EB after all - rapid drop offs, with a clustering of data points at a U-shaped bottom. Unfortunately we don't know the radius of the star."

Here is Daryll Lacourse's comment on Keppixseries below:

"July released target pixel files for KIC 2581316; the transits/eclipses seem visible and included within the large optimal aperture masks in each case. Contamination does not seem to be involved."

KIC 5871985 Planet Candidate at Planet Hunters

KIC 5871985 is a planet candidate identified by Planet Hunters forum Talk members.

Here is Kian Jek's comment:

"Folded by hand to obtain a 213.25d period. Measured depth of 1939 ppm (0.001939) and duration of 8.65h, compares well with an estimated central transit of 9hr, for a 3.51x RE planet, distance of 0.615 to 0.665AU, a Teq of 198 to 206K, a little on the cold side."

Quarter 5 Light Curve for KIC 12454613 / APH52007327

Analysis by Kian Jek:

"No APOs seen and the normalized detrended transit plot looks quite convincing, rapid drop off, symmetrical shoulders and a flat-bottom with clustered data points. ~2.5 RE planetary object if the transit is real. Given that the transit duration is 15 hours, we should anticipate a long-period orbit ~ 1250 days, maybe more."
