Questions about K2 data on Planet Hunters

• by mschwamb scientist

  HI,

  Surprise! The K2 data is live on the site. I thought I'd start a thread for questions about the K2 Campaign 0 data and about about classifying it here in the Planet Hunter Science thread. So ask anything and everything you want to know about the K2 data and someone will try and answer it.

  Cheers,

  Well, this is a nice surprise!

  I don't have a question, just wishing everyone good luck. Happy hunting!!

  Hi Meg,

  Have these been already sifted through by the Kepler team?

  HI Arvin,

  They released the data at the same time they get to look at it, but the data was released back in early September so there are other astronomers and the Kepler who have likely looked at the observations in the meantime though I'm sure there are still new discoveries to make.

  Cheers,

  Just wanted to point out that the K2 data got a Daily Zooniverse plug yesterday!
