TL;DR: The Kepler mission was designed to determine the frequency of Earth-sized planets in and near the habitable zone of Sun-like stars, which is the region where planetary temperatures are suitable for water to exist on a planet's surface.

TL;DR: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) as discussed by the authors will search for planets transiting bright and nearby stars using four wide-field optical charge-coupled device cameras to monitor at least 200,000 main-sequence dwarf stars.

TL;DR: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) as mentioned in this paper was selected by NASA for launch in 2017 as an Astrophysics Explorer mission to search for planets transiting bright and nearby stars.
Detection of an Extrasolar Planet Atmosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, high-precision spectrophotometric observations of four planetary transits of HD 209458, in the region of the sodium resonance doublet at 589.3 nm, were reported.
Detection of Planetary Transits Across a Sun-like Star.
TL;DR: High-precision, high-cadence photometric measurements of the star HD 209458 are reported, which is known from radial velocity measurements to have a planetary-mass companion in a close orbit and the detailed shape of the transit curve due to both the limb darkening of thestar and the finite size of the planet is clearly evident.
