Kepler & K2
The 233rd meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in Seattle featured a special session titled "Kepler and K2's 500,000 high-precision lightcurves: prospects for future discoveries".
The session highlighted the future discoveries which are expected to emerge from Kepler's data set over the next years, and discussed some of the new tools, methods, and data sets which may enable those discoveries The slides from the session are now available below:
