Scientific paper

We describe an initial study into characterizing the completeness of the Kepler data reduction pipeline with respect to detecting transiting planets. The primary goal is to determine the transit detectability for a given set of planet radii and orbital periods of interest for a subset of the Kepler light curves covering a grid of stellar parameter space. We use a Monte Carlo approach, injecting signals from the putative planets at the pixel level, and processing the pixels through the same pipeline as the science pixels. By mapping an input population of planets to an output set of candidates, we can approximate a posteriori the real planet population.
