Description
We identify 231 objects in the newly released Cycle 0 data set from the Kepler Mission as double-eclipse, detached eclipsing binary systems with Teff<5500K and orbital periods shorter than ~32 days. We model each light curve using the JKTEBOP code with a genetic algorithm to obtain precise values for each system. We identify 95 new systems with both components below 1.0M_{sun}_ and eclipses of at least 0.1mag, suitable for ground-based follow-up. Of these, 14 have periods less than 1.0-day, 52 have periods between 1.0 and 10.0-days, and 29 have periods greater than 10.0-days. This new sample of main-sequence, low-mass, double-eclipse, detached eclipsing binary candidates more than doubles the number of previously known systems and extends the sample into the completely heretofore unexplored P>10.0-day period regime.
