Pipeline processing for K2 Campaign 10 is now complete and the data are in the process of being shipped to the data archive at MAST. We anticipate that the data will become available for download on or before December 22nd.

Alongside 28,345 standard long cadence and 138 short cadence …

The original data release for K2 Campaign 1 in 2014 used a prior version of the pipeline (v9.2) which only produced "Type-1" FITS Target Pixel Files. The Campaign has now been re-processed using the mature version of the pipeline (v9.3) which updates the pixel files to "Type-2" TPFs …

The science program and target lists for K2 Campaign 12 have now been posted on the approved targets & programs page.

The Campaign 12 target list includes 29,221 standard long cadence and 141 standard short cadence targets, all located in a high-Galactic latitude field (-60°) on the boundary between the …

K2 users are alerted to a small but necessary adjustment to the fields of Campaigns 13, 14, and 15.

To better compensate for the radiation pressure exerted by one of the spacecraft's low-gain antennae, these fields have been rotated by 0.365°. This change minimizes the roll drift rate and …

We previously announced that in order to maximize the science return from the remaining fuel, the K2 Campaign 16 field has been changed to enable a forward-facing supernova survey. In addition to benefiting from low galactic extinction, the new field allows simultaneous observations to be made from the ground to …

Proposals for targets to be observed by K2 in Campaigns 14, 15, and 16 are currently being solicited as part of K2 Guest Observer Cycle 5, with Step 1 submissions due on November 3, 2016.

The fields of these campaigns will cover roughly 100 square degrees each towards the constellations …

Pipeline processing for K2 Campaign 9 is now complete and the data are in the process of being shipped to the MAST archive. We anticipate that the data will become available for download on or before September 30.

The majority of the Campaign 9 pixel budget was dedicated to a …

The currently on-going K2 Campaign 10 includes targeted observations of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the comet currently being studied by the ESA Rosetta Mission.

To provide members of the Rosetta science team with fast access to the data, the uncalibrated level 1 files for Campaign 10 will be made available immediately after …

The science program and target lists for K2 Campaign 11 (Sep 24 - Dec 8) have now been posted on the approved targets & programs page.

The C11 target list includes 14,209 standard long cadence and 65 standard short cadence targets. The number of targets is lower than usual because it …
