The catalog of long-period transiting exoplanet candidates (green points with error bars) compared to the Kepler candidates (blue points) and confirmed planets (black points; Morton et al. 2016) found in our target sample, and the solar system (orange squares). The thin black error bars to the left of each candidate indicate the minimum period allowed for each candidate by the prior assumption that no other transit occurred during the baseline of Kepler observations of the target. The vertical solid line shows the absolute maximum period accessible to transit searches that require at least three transits in the Kepler data.
