Confirmed Exoplanets

In addition to discovering hundreds of exoplanet candidates, the Kepler spacecraft has also reported 26 exoplanets in 11 systems which have not yet been added to the Extrasolar Planet Database. Exoplanets discovered using Kepler's data, but confirmed by outside researchers, include KOI-423b, KOI-428b, KOI-196b, KOI-135b, KOI-204b, KOI-254b, KOI-730, and Kepler-42 (KOI-961). The "KOI" acronym indicates that the star is a Kepler Object of Interest.

Both Corot and Kepler measured the reflected light from planets. However, these planets were already known, since they transit their host star. Kepler's data allowed the first discovery of planets by this method, KOI 55.01 and 55.02.
