Multiplicity
Of Keplers 150,000 stars, only a couple thousandstars have a
transit-like pattern
If patterns appeared randomly, only a few stars would
have more than one pattern
But hundreds of stars have multiple transit-likepatterns
Multiplicity is not random!

715 newly veried planets orbiting 305 stars
Increases total known planets to nearly 1,700
Multiplicity is a powerful technique for wholesale
planetverication
Results are based on the rst two years of observations
