A Probabilistic Approach to Kepler Completeness and Reliability for Exoplanet Occurrence Rates

A Probabilistic Approach to Kepler Completeness and Reliability for Exoplanet Occurrence Rates

Exoplanet catalogs produced by surveys suffer from a lack of completeness (not every planet is detected) and less than perfect reliability (not every planet in the catalog is a true planet), particularly near the survey's detection limit. Exoplanet occurrence rate studies based on such a catalog must be corrected for …
