7. The false positive probabilities (FPPs) for Kepler telescope planet candidates are typically small because of detailed vetting of the photometry, including analysis of the transit shape and astrometric displacement. FPPs depend on the host star brightness and crowding in the field as well as on planet size; giant planets often have larger FPPs.

43. All elements except for hydrogen and helium are considered "metals" by astronomers. "Metallicity" refers to the abundance of metals (often iron) relative to solar proportions.

45. Self-pollution was ruled out because evolved subgiant planet-host stars are as metal-rich as are main sequence -planet hosts, despite convective zone mixing in evolved stars that would have diluted their surface-layer pollution signature (53).

59. For planets smaller than 4 RE, I adopt Kepler telescope occurrence measurements for orbital periods of 5 to 50 days, which include corrections for missed planet detections in the Kepler telescope pipeline (16). For larger planets, I use measurements of a larger number of stars, but for all orbital periods <50 days (17).
60. The properties of extrasolar planets plotted in Figs. 3 and 4 were downloaded from the Exoplanet Orbit Database (http://exoplanets.org) on 14 February 2013. Additionally, Kepler-discovered planets with ≥2-σ mass measurements from (58) were included for Fig. 3.
