Scientific paper

Brown dwarfs span the boundary between hydrogen burning stars and planets. We present photometric and radial velocity analysis of two large transiting low mass companions KOI-125 and KOI-130 discovered by the Kepler mission. Precise determination of masses and radii will help fill in the mass-radius relation for sub-stellar and M-dwarf companions. KOI-125 is likely a brown-dwarf companion and KOI-130 is likely a M-dwarf companion on an eccentric orbit.
Kepler was selected as the 10th mission of the Discovery Program. Funding for this mission is provided by NASA, Science Mission Directorate.
