Scientific paper

We have period-mass diagrams for radial-velocity planets, and period-radius diagrams for the Kepler candidate planets, but no mass information for the majority of the latter. However we can construct a mass-radius diagram for about 100 known planets, albeit with significant scatter, so the question I will address here is, to what extent is it valid to assign masses to the Kepler candidate planets?
