A Systematic Search for Transiting Planets in the K2 Data

Photometry of stars from the K2extension of NASA’s Keplermission is afflicted by systematic effects caused by small (few-pixel) drifts in the telescope pointing and other spacecraft issues. We present a method for searching K2light curves for evidence of exoplanets by simultaneously fitting for these systematics and the transit signals of interest. This method is more computationally expensi...

K2: A System for Campaign Deployments of Wireless Sensor Networks

Environmental scientists frequently engage in “campaignstyle” deployments, where they visit a location for a relatively short period of time (several weeks to months) and intensively collect measurements with a combination of manual and automatic methods. We present K2, a mote-based system which brings high-quality automated monitoring to deployments of this nature. We identify key application ...

Heatflow on Hotspot Planets : 10 and Venus

On planets where most of the heat is transported to the surface by igneous activity (extrusive volcanism or near-surface intrusions), the surface heat flow at localities well away from regions of current igneous activity need not be even approximately the conductive heatflow through the entire lithosphere but may instead be dominated by the residual heat leaking out from the last igneous event ...

Quickly Excluding K2, r from Planar Graphs

We prove that any planar graph that does not contain K2,r as a minor has treewidth ≤ r + 2.
