Prospects for expanding the available mass measurements of the Kepler sampleare limited. Planet masses have typically been inferred via radial velocity(RV) measurements of the host star or time-series modeling of transit timingvariations (TTVs) in multiplanet systems; however, the majority of Kepler hostsare too dim for RV follow-up, and only a select number of systems have strongenough TTVs for time-series modeling. Here, we develop a method of constrainingplanet mass in multiplanet systems using low signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) TTVs.For a sample of 175 planets in 79 multiplanet systems from theCalifornia-Kepler Survey, we infer posteriors on planet mass using publiclyavailable TTV time-series from Kepler. For 53 planets ($>30\%$ of our sample),low-S/N TTVs yield informative upper bounds on planet mass, i.e., the massconstraint strongly deviates from the prior on mass and yields a physicallyreasonable bulk composition. For 25 small planets, low-S/N TTVs favorvolatile-rich compositions. Where available, low-S/N TTV-based mass constraintsare consistent with RV-derived masses. TTV time-series are publicly availablefor each Kepler planet, and the compactness of Kepler systems makes TTV-basedconstraints informative for a substantial fraction of multiplanet systems.Leveraging low-S/N TTVs offers a valuable path toward increasing the availablemass constraints of the Kepler sample.
