DEVELOPING PREDICTORS OF RADIAL VELOCITY JITTER FROM K2 LIGHT CURVES

WE PROPOSE TO USE THE HIGH-PRECISION LIGHT CURVES FROM THE K2 MISSION WITH ARCHIVAL RV JITTER AND ACTIVITY MEASUREMENTS TO (1) DEVELOP AN EMPIRICAL RELATION BETWEEN RV JITTER AND LIGHT CURVE VARIATIONS FOLLOWING THE METHODOLOGY DEVELOPED BY BASTIEN ET AL. (2014) AND (2) DETERMINE THE DEPENDENCY OF THE RELATION ON AGE SPECTRAL TYPE AND MAGNETIC ACTIVITY. THESE RELATIONS WILL PROVE USEFUL FOR RV FOLLOW UP OF EXISTING TRANSITING EXOPLANET CANDIDATES. WE WILL USE THEM TO IDENTIFY TARGETS THAT HAVE LOW .
