What's the deal with day 27?

• by Jalew

  I have seen a lot of different anomalies around day 27 on various images. I am starting to think that a lot of these charts were taken at the same time, and Kepler may have experience some sort of interference. (This is also my first day doing this). Anyone have any insight?

  Yes, K2 C4 Q1-2 day 27 (BKJD 2277) appears to be a common glitch on many light curves. Since two of Kepler's four reaction wheels failed it is a lot less stable. The light curves we are looking at have been processed to get rid of the worst effects but lots of glitches remain.
