The 21st International Microlensing Conference—entitled "Ushering in the New Age of Microlensing from Space"—will take place on February 1–3, 2017, in Pasadena, California.

The conference intends to highlight results from K2's Campaign 9, a combined ground- and space-based microlensing survey that was carried out using the Kepler …

As reported in detail in the latest Kepler Mission Manager Update, additional spacecraft telemetry appears to confirm the loss of CCD Module 4 during K2's current Campaign 10.

Module 4 is the third of the 21 science modules to have failed in-flight. Such hardware failures were foreseen in the initial …

The final reprocessing of the Kepler Q0-Q17 short cadence data has been completed. The new target pixel and lightcurve files have been ingested into the Kepler data archive at MAST.

This release (DR25) corrects both the scrambled collateral smear issue reported in the Global Erratum for Kepler Q0-Q17 & K2 C0-C5 …

Reprocessed short cadence target pixel files for K2 Campaigns 3, 4, and 5 are now available for download from the K2 data archive at MAST.

This release, formally called K2 Data Release 10, corrects the short cadence pixel calibration bug described in the Global Erratum for Kepler Q0-Q17 & K2 C0-C5 …

With the help of the NASA Ames SpaceShop Rapid Prototyping Facility, the Kepler team has created a 3D-printable puzzle of the spacecraft for educational purposes.

The model files and documentation are available on our GitHub repository at https://github.com/KeplerGO/kepler-3d-printing-model. We would love to hear about your experiences …

Long cadence light curves, target pixel files, and full frame images for K2 Campaign 8 are now available for download from the K2 data archive at MAST. The data are not yet searchable using the K2 data search interface, which will be available later this week.

The Campaign 8 target …

The K2 Campaign 10 science program has been posted online. The target list includes 28,345 standard long cadence and 138 short cadence targets.

Owing to the high galactic latitude of the field, the standard long cadence targets include 4,950 small galaxies. In addition, 27 larger galaxies are targeted …

The currently on-going K2 Campaign 9 is dedicated to a microlensing experiment, aimed at simultaneously observing gravitional microlensing events with K2 and from Earth in order to see a parallax effect in the shape and time of the lensing events. To allow such events to be identified and characterized rapidly …

(Last updated on 2017 Oct 15 to include Campaign 15 solar system targets.)

A recent amendment to NASA's Discovery Data Analysis Program (DDAP) permits the submission of proposals for work on Kepler/K2 observations of solar system targets. The objective of the DDAP program is to enhance the scientific return …

Data processing for K2 Campaign 7 is now complete and the pixel files are in the process of being shipped to the MAST archive. We anticipate that the data will become available to the public shortly.

The Campaign 7 target list included 13,469 standard long cadence and 72 standard …
