Kepler presents an important opportunity to enlarge the sample of giant planet albedo measurements. We present a study of a dozen Kepler candidates, in which we place constraints on the geometric albedo and orbital eccentricity. With a growing sample of geometric albedo measurements, we seek to unlock empirical correlations between planet and star properties and planet albedo.
We also discuss the Kepler discovery of an interesting 1.8 Jupiter radius planet, which at an orbital separation of 0.056 AU (P= 4.4 days), is the coldest of the super-inflated planets.
