community has secured >24 ground-based facilities to support the forward-facing Campaigns 16 & 17: • Enables spectroscopic characterization of supernovae. • Enables simultaneous measurements of RV jitter and photometric stability to Kepler precision. • Observe dozens of unconfirmed Earth-sized planet candidates seen in previous Campaigns.
the key part of the sky that includes benchmark solar-like (M67) and young (M44) star clusters. This is K2’s legacy field; it will benefit from a 3-year baseline and 8-month duty cycle. Enables prime-mission-like science at a different Galactic sight line from the original mission: • Exoplanet TTVs; • Long-term stellar activity; • Asteroseismology.
2017 (any new planets from C6?) C18: Jan 19, 2018 (any new planets from C5?) C19: Apr 12, 2018 (any new planets from C12?) K2 Cycle 6 Phase-2 deadline for funding (~$20-$150k grants): Apr 19, 2018 Proposals may only use C17-18-19 targets selected in Phase-1 (target lists to be published in February). See ROSES D.7 for details. Also: propose to ADAP and XRP!
