Scientific paper

We present here the results of a search for optical planetary emission among the 1235 Kepler mission planet candidates reported by Borucki et al. (2011). We detect the secondary eclipses of over 15 candidates with confidence levels up to about 7-8 sigma. We summarize the parameters of the detections and derive the basic parameters of the planetary atmospheres, i.e. albedo, temperatures and energy redistribution factors based on the observed eclipse depths. We also present additional follow-up observations of some of these candidates to establish whether they are truly planetary objects or false positives.
