106 Kepler ultra-short-period planets

A low false positive rate is also implied by the relatively high fraction of candidates for which more than one transiting planet signal was detected. By assuming these multi-transit candidates represent coplanar multi-planet systems, we are able to infer that the USP planets are typically accompanied by other planets with periods in the range 1-50 days, in contrast with hot Jupiters which very rarely have companions in that same period range.

Another clear pattern is that almost all USP planets are smaller than 2 R_{earth}_, possibly because gas giants in very tight orbits would lose their atmospheres by photoevaporation when subject to extremely strong stellar irradiation. Based on our survey statistics, USP planets exist around approximately (0.51+/-0.07)% of G-dwarf stars, and (0.83+/-0.18)% of K-dwarf stars.
