Companions in Color: High-Resolution Imaging of Kepler’s Sub-Neptune Host Stars

Sub-Neptune exoplanets, which fall between 1 and 4 times the size of Earth, were found in abundance by the Kepler Mission. The combination of their size and relatively short orbital period make them unusual in relation to the Solar System, leading to the question of how these exoplanets form and evolve. One possibility is that they were influenced by distant stellar companions. We conduct a search for visual stellar companions to asses their influence.
