Four Small Planets Buried in K2 Systems: What Can We Learn for TESS?
Christina Hedges, Nicholas Saunders, Geert Barentsen +5
The Kepler, K2, and Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) missions have provided a wealth of confirmed exoplanets, benefiting from a huge effort from the planet-hunting and…
The Random Transiter -- EPIC 249706694/HD 139139
S. Rappaport, A. Vanderburg, M. H. Kristiansen +16
We have identified a star, EPIC 249706694 (HD 139139), that was observed during K2 Campaign 15 with the Kepler extended mission that appears to exhibit 28 transit-like events over…
Catalog of New K2 Exoplanet Candidates from Citizen Scientists
Jon K. Zink, Kevin K. Hardegree-Ullman, Jessie L. Christiansen +34
We provide 28 new planet candidates that have been vetted by citizen scientists and expert astronomers. This catalog contains 9 likely rocky candidates () and…
The L 98-59 System: Three Transiting, Terrestrial-Sized Planets Orbiting a Nearby M-dwarf
Veselin B. Kostov, Joshua E. Schlieder, Thomas Barclay +112
We report the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) discovery of three terrestrial-sized planets transiting L 98-59 (TOI-175, TIC 307210830) -- a bright M dwarf at a distanc…
K2-288Bb: A Small Temperate Planet in a Low-mass Binary System Discovered by Citizen Scientists
Adina D. Feinstein, Joshua E. Schlieder, John H. Livingston +23
Observations from the Kepler and K2 missions have provided the astronomical community with unprecedented amounts of data to search for transiting exoplanets and other astrophysical…
Discovery and Vetting of Exoplanets I: Benchmarking K2 Vetting Tools
Veselin B. Kostov, Susan E. Mullally, Elisa V. Quintana +7
We have adapted the algorithmic tools developed during the Kepler mission to vet the quality of transit-like signals for use on the K2 mission data. Using the four sets of publicly…
