Spitzer Observations of Exoplanets Discovered with The Kepler K2 Mission
Abstract
We have used the Spitzer Space Telescope to observe two transiting planetary systems orbiting low mass stars discovered in the mission. The system K2-3 (EPIC 201367065) hosts three planets while EPIC 202083828 (K2-26) hosts a single planet. Observations of all four objects in these two systems confirm and refine the orbital and physical parameters of the planets. The refined orbital information and more precise planet radii possible with will be critical for future observations of these and other targets. For K2-3b we find marginally significant evidence for a Transit Timing Variation between the and \ epochs.
