 This was confirmed on August 7, 2010, when the Infrared Array Camera on the Spitzer Space Telescope observed Kepler-14 to gather photometric data.Analysis of both the Spitzer photometric data and the radial velocity data confirmed the idea of a planet as the source of the transit signal.The planet was designated Kepler-14b, and this was published alongside the data and research on Kepler-14 in a June 2011 paper.
