Spitzer Space Telescope
Overview of Spitzer Meets K2
• 450 Hour Cycle 11 Spitzer GO Proposal– Main thrust is K2 candidate exoplanets around late stars– Our team screens and selects candidates for Spitzer study– 4.5um is wavelength of choice
• Have scheduled/executed 20 observations through K2 field 2– 16 exoplanets, 13 stars– First results to be reported here [Beichman et al, Benneke et al]
• Main science thrusts- Improved transit parameters based on better sampling , reduced limb brightening and higher S/N – Improved timing for JWST and other recovery followup– Search for TTVs

Spitzer Confirmation of the Transiting Habitable Zone Super-Earth K2-18b – Bjoern Benneke
• K2-18b is the first habitable zone exoplanet amenable to atmospheric characterization
• Only two transits observed by K2
Earth: 1370 W/m2
K2-18b: 1300 W/m2
K2-18

Spitzer Detection of Third Transit
Transit occurs 7σ (1.8 hours) before predicted transit time! Spitzer transit will constrain eclipse/planet geometry much more effectively than did the K2 observations alone.

Global Analysis of K2 + Spitzer Photometry
• Previously unidentified outlier in K2 data led to inaccurate ephemeris

K2-18b would have been lost for future characterizations
• Long observation time possible from Spitzer facilitated recovery• Ephemeris from K2 could have led to non-detections with HST and JWST

Spitzer Space Telescope
Summary of Initial Results• Spitzer at 4.5um confirms K2 measurements of transit depths for
exoplanets K2-3 b,c,d; K2-18b; and 20208328b
• Further analysis of Spitzer data will provide improved constraints on transit geometry and exoplanet properties for these and other systems, including small HZ planets– TTV analysis of K2-3 system in process by Kat Deck, results to be
included in Beichman et al paper
• First round of Spitzer measurements reduce uncertainty in transit times for JWST era. Most dramatically, the transits of K2-18b will occur ~six hours earlier at the time of the JWST launch than K2 ephemeris alone would predict

Spitzer Space Telescope
Conclusions• Spitzer followup of K2 promises to be very productive
scientifically and to set the stage for JWST
• Observations of K2-3, K2-18b, & 20209328b have:• Confirmed transit depths• Provided better data for exoplanet characterization• Improved ephemerides for JWST work
• Future plans• 8 additional exoplanets already queued up for observation • Several hundred hours still to be scheduled – we invite
suggestions of targets we may overlook • Program expanded to include FGK stars• Extend Spitzer through Senior Review to go beyond K2
