Query: Measuring Transit Signal Recovery in the Kepler Pipeline. III.
  Completeness of the Q1-Q17 DR24 Planet Candidate Catalogue, with Important
  Caveats for Occurrence Rate Calculations   With each new version of the Kepler pipeline and resulting planet candidate
catalogue, an updated measurement of the underlying planet population can only
be recovered with an corresponding measurement of the Kepler pipeline detection
efficiency. Here, we present measurements of the sensitivity of the pipeline
(version 9.2) used to generate the Q1-Q17 DR24 planet candidate catalog
(Coughlin et al. 2016). We measure this by injecting simulated transiting
planets into the pixel-level data of 159,013 targets across the entire Kepler
focal plane, and examining the recovery rate. Unlike previous versions of the
Kepler pipeline, we find a strong period dependence in the measured detection
efficiency, with longer (>40 day) periods having a significantly lower
detectability than shorter periods, introduced in part by an incorrectly
implemented veto. Consequently, the sensitivity of the 9.2 pipeline cannot be
cast as a simple one-dimensional function of the signal strength of the
candidate planet signal as was possible for previous versions of the pipeline.
We report on the implications for occurrence rate calculations based on the
Q1-Q17 DR24 planet candidate catalog and offer important caveats and
recommendations for performing such calculations. As before, we make available
the entire table of injected planet parameters and whether they were recovered
by the pipeline, enabling readers to derive the pipeline detection sensitivity
in the planet and/or stellar parameter space of their choice.
