K2 Looks Towards WASP-28 and WASP-151

Abstract

By analysing the short-cadence K2 photometry from the observing Campaign 12 we refine the system parameters of hot Jupiter WASP-28b and hot Saturn WASP-151b. We report the non-detection and corresponding upper limits for transit-timing and transit-duration variations, starspots, rotational and phase-curve modulations and additional transiting planets. We discuss the cause of several background brightening events detected simultaneously in both planetary systems and conclude that they are likely associated with the passage of Mars across the field of view.
