Description
At the end of the K2 mission, just before it ran out of fuel, Campaign 19 was conducted but cut short which resulted in an extremely short set of observations. The small amount of data recorded makes discovering exoplanets within the Campaign 19 dataset difficult. To our knowledge, no other teams have been able to find exoplanets in the Campaign 19 dataset yet. We are using this dataset to search for single transits and characterize new planetary systems. Despite the short duration of the dataset provided from K2, we are still able to determine important characteristics of the star and planet, such as radius, mass, period, and the likelihood of the planet residing in the habitable zone. We are complementing the K2 data with observations from ground-based telescopes. Our work will help ensure that all K2 data is utilized to its full potential so that no planets are left behind. These techniques can be adapted and applied to single transit systems recorded by other telescopes such as TESS.
