# Summary of K2 Program GO14056 Title: M dwarf Exoplanets and Stellar Activity: Combining K2 Photometry and High Resolution ground based spectroscopy with HPF PI: Mahadevan, Suvrath (Pennsylvania State University) CoIs: Terrien, Ryan; Bender, Chad F; Robertson, Paul M; Roy, Arpita We propose to observe select bright M dwarfs with K2 in Campaigns 14 and 16, drawing extensively from the target list for the upcoming NIR Habitable Zone Planet Finder (HPF) radial velocity spectrograph at the 10m Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET), supplemented with targets from SDSS-APOGEE and GAIA, and prioritizing targets from prior K2 fields which will overlap with TESS observations. Rotationally induced radial velocity noise can masquerade as a low mass exoplanet. K2 photometry of these targets will uncover the rotational periods and levels of activity, directly enabling more correct interpretation of the RV signals and the discovery of exoplanets. HPF starts its science observations in 2017, and of particular interest is the forward facing Campaign 16, where the power of the HET queue-scheduled observations enables HPF to acquire spectra and RVs on a number of bright M dwarfs simultaneously with K2 photometry, enabling techniques like FF' and Gaussian Processes to be brought to bear on the continuous photometry+RV data set. The goal of this project is directly in line with NASA and community goals of detection of low mass exoplanets in or near Habitable Zones of our nearest neighbors, and with Decadal Recommendations of using precision RVs to detect and characterize low mass planets. # Targets requested by this program that have been observed (31) EPIC ID, RA (J2000) [deg], Dec (J2000) [deg], magnitude, Investigation IDs 201479798, 163.168262, 0.21711, 15.024, GO14056_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC 201497396, 163.165067, 0.483862, 10.098, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14063_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14020_LC|GO14901_LC 201501470, 163.013598, 0.544034, 12.609, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC 201661761, 165.331938, 3.00476, 12.891, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14030_LC|GO14063_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC 201703096, 165.190889, 3.692118, 12.008, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14001_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC 201705990, 165.767805, 3.739612, 12.038, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC 201820874, 164.297434, 5.748552, 12.142, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14001_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14020_LC 201844088, 164.006121, 6.185369, 5.743, GO14056_LC 201885041, 164.120109, 7.01454, 11.585, GO14082_LC|GO14025_LC|GO14067_LC|GO14012_LC|GO14072_LC|GO14018_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14030_LC|GO14063_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14082_SC|GO14072_SC 248425357, 156.20747, 0.55563, 12.036, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14020_LC|GO14083_LC 248432941, 157.231462, 0.841006, 8.771, GO14025_LC|GO14014_LC|GO14068_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14030_LC|GO14063_LC|GO14031_LC|GO14028_LC|GO14065_LC 248453031, 160.08954, 1.577079, 11.067, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14028_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14901_LC 248468115, 159.314354, 2.097543, 11.872, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14020_LC|GO14083_LC 248473036, 158.945507, 2.266199, 12.549, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14083_LC 248504645, 160.69488, 3.283509, 11.817, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14083_LC 248505702, 158.009487, 3.31531, 10.892, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC 248601792, 163.059258, 5.919405, 13.343, GO14014_LC|GO14072_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14030_LC|GO14063_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14072_SC 248609483, 153.63311, 6.111375, 11.678, GO14056_LC|GO14063_LC|GO14001_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14020_LC|GO14083_LC 248637069, 162.716797, 6.808119, 10.436, GO14025_LC|GO14014_LC|GO14068_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14030_LC|GO14063_LC|GO14001_LC|GO14031_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14901_LC 248664460, 158.236824, 7.479246, 11.82, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14083_LC 248698478, 163.768635, 8.300169, 11.494, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14020_LC|GO14083_LC 248759329, 161.516358, 9.697606, 12.36, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC 248775337, 160.064965, 10.083904, 12.712, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14001_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC 248804846, 160.1848, 10.793088, 11.125, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14028_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14021_LC|GO14020_LC|GO14083_LC|GO14901_LC 248826058, 154.71442, 11.308789, 12.306, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14083_LC 248849485, 164.066138, 11.893085, 11.798, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14020_LC|GO14083_LC 248856413, 165.210143, 12.069655, 14.311, GO14072_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14030_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14072_SC 248856749, 163.718867, 12.077893, 12.266, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14083_LC 248857979, 160.451862, 12.10886, 10.959, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14063_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14028_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14005_LC|GO14020_LC|GO14083_LC|GO14901_LC 248870284, 161.078407, 12.419883, 12.336, GO14014_LC|GO14056_LC|GO14009_LC|GO14052_LC 248871666, 165.436627, 12.454513, 13.81, GO14056_LC|GO14052_LC|GO14083_LC
