摘要:

与美国宇航局最初的开普勒发现任务不同,更新后的K2任务将盯着南极洲的平面,观察每个领域约75天。这将带来新的机遇和挑战,特别是大量主带小行星的存在将污染测光。大的像素尺寸使得K2数据容易受到明显的小行星遭遇的影响。在这里,我们使用2014年2月拍摄的K2工程数据的子样本来研究小行星相遇对测光精度的影响。我们展示了小行星污染的例子,以方便他们的识别和区分这些事件从其他错误来源。我们的结论是,主带小行星将有相当大的影响K2测光的大量测光目标在飞行任务期间,这将不得不考虑。这些结果将很容易适用于未来的空间测光任务应用大格式CCD,如TESS和PLATO。

英文摘要:

Unlike NASA's original Kepler Discovery Mission, the renewed K2 Mission will stare at the plane of the Ecliptic, observing each field for approximately 75 days. This will bring new opportunities and challenges, in particular the presence of a large number of main-belt asteroids that will contaminate the photometry. The large pixel size makes K2 data susceptible to the effect of apparent minor planet encounters. Here we investigate the effects of asteroid encounters on photometric precision using a sub-sample of the K2 Engineering data taken in February, 2014. We show examples of asteroid contamination to facilitate their recognition and distinguish these events from other error sources. We conclude that main-belt asteroids will have considerable effects on K2 photometry of a large number of photometric targets during the Mission, that will have to be taken into account. These results will be readily applicable for future space photometric missions applying large-format CCDs, such as TESS and PLATO.
