These pages contain the Kepler short and long cadence light curves and 16
time-serial, ground-based high-resolution spectra for the object "KOI-126."
This is a hierarchial system of three stars, all of whose orbits are viewed
nearly edge-on in our line of sight to them. This configuration permits Kepler
to observe eclipses among all three stars. This fortuitous
circumstance allows for
the determination of stellar masses and radii from the photometry alone.
The two lowest-mass members of KOI-126 double the number of
fully-convective stars
(i.e., those with masses less than about a third Solar) with mass and
radius determinations better than a few percent.

light curves. Note that the wavelengths of the echelle orders are encoded
and have to be unpacked, e.g. by using the IRAF task onespec/wtextspec,
to set up the wavelength registration for spectrum manipulation.
