When compared to the 827 systems with only one candidate, the multip... ▽ More In this letter we present an overview of the rich population of systems with
multiple candidate transiting planets found in the first four months of Kepler data.

In contrast, t... ▽ More We present a statistical analysis that demonstrates that the overwhelming majority of Kepler
candidate multiple transiting systems (multis) indeed represent true, physically - associated
transiting planets.
We show that this statistical framework correctly estimates the ab... ▽ More We extend the statistical analysis of Lissauer et al. (2012, ApJ 750, 112), which demonstrates that the overwhelming majority of Kepler
candidate multiple transiting systems (multis) represent true
transiting planets, and develop therefrom a procedure to validate large numbers of planet
candidates in multis as bona fide exoplanets.
We find that the occurrence rate of planet
candidates that show TTVs is significantly increased (~ 68 %) for planet
candidates transiting stars with
multiple transiting planet
candidate when compared to planet
candidates transiting stars with a single
transiting planet
candidate.
We apply this method to an analysis of the
transit timing variations of two stars with
multiple transiting planet
candidates identified by Kepler.
Abstract: About one - third of the ~ 1200

candidates detected in the first four months of \ ik data are members of
