We provide 28 new planet candidates that have been vetted by citizen scientists and expert astronomers. This catalog contains 9 likely rocky candidates ($R_{pl} < 2.0R_oplus$) and 19 gaseous candidates ($R_{pl} > 2.0R_oplus$). Within this list we find one multi-planet system (EPIC 246042088). These two sub-Neptune ($2.99 pm 0.02R_oplus$ and $3.44 pm 0.02R_oplus$) planets exist in a near 3:2 orbital resonance. The discovery of this multi-planet system is important in its addition to the list of known multi-planet systems within the K2 catalog, and more broadly in understanding the multiplicity distribution of the exoplanet population (Zink et al. 2019). The candidates on this list are anticipated to generate RV amplitudes of 0.2-18 m/s, many within the range accessible to current facilities.
Due to the efforts by numerous ground-based surveys and NASAs Kepler and TESS, there will be hundreds, if not thousands, of transiting exoplanets ideal for atmospheric characterization via spectroscopy with large platforms such as JWST and ARIEL. How
The NASA Kepler mission has discovered thousands of new planetary candidates, many of which have been confirmed through follow-up observations. A primary goal of the mission is to determine the occurrance rate of terrestrial-size planets within the H
Observations from the Kepler and K2 missions have provided the astronomical community with unprecedented amounts of data to search for transiting exoplanets and other astrophysical phenomena. Here, we present K2-288, a low-mass binary system (M2.0 +/
K2-138 is a moderately bright (V = 12.2, K = 10.3) main sequence K-star observed in Campaign 12 of the NASA K2 mission. It hosts five small (1.6-3.3R_Earth) transiting planets in a compact architecture. The periods of the five planets are 2.35 d, 3.5
Given that Campaign 16 of the K2 mission is one of just two K2 campaigns observed so far in forward-facing mode, which enables immediate follow-up observations from the ground, we present a catalog of interesting targets identified through photometry
