Kepler Mission and IYA Kepler in Historical Perspective Kepler’s Laws and IYA Kepler Mission and IYA

Historical Perspective Early Astronomers –Unpredictable events –Chinese records dated 1300 BC –Babylonians predictable events 700 BC Greeks –600 BC, predictable events –Greek words meaning "law and order“ “kosmos nomos”~ astronomy Ptolemy –150 AD concentric system

Historical Perspective Modern Astronomy –Copernicus, 1543

Nick Lomb Brahe and Kepler

Kepler’s Laws 1609 Astronomia Nova 1. Planets move in orbits that are ellipses 2. The line joining a planet with the Sun sweeps equal areas in equal times. Tom Henderson

Kepler’s 3 rd Law 1619 Harmonices Mundi 3. The square of the period of the orbit of a planet is proportional to the cube of its mean distance from the Sun.

Galileo 1609

Newton’s law of gravity and planetary motion Luca Bombelli

Kepler Mission Transit Method of Detection March 5, 2009 launch

Kepler Mission Find the frequency of terrestrial planets in the Galaxy Characterize the properties of inner planetary systems. Determine the properties of stars (single & multiple) hosting planets. Discover terrestrial planets in habitable zones (or show that they are rare). Detect true Earth analogs A NULL result would also be very significant (frequency of stars with terrestrial planets is less than 5%) Kepler is uniquely qualified to detect Earth-sized extrasolar planets!

Target Region

Carter Roberts

Information from Transits With a measurement of reflected light you can also get an idea of the planet’s atmosphere (reflectivity, albedo). With a measurement of the “wobble” you get the planet’s mass, and combined with the size you get the density (composition).
