TRAPPIST-1 K2 Quicklook

Lightcurves made with k2p2 (raw photometry: https://arxiv.org/abs/1504.05199) and k2sc (detrending: https://github.com/OxES/k2sc)

This is an extremely preliminary stab at a K2 lightcurve of TRAPPIST-1 - we haven't manually gone through and checked everything is right - but we are motivated to release what we have now by rumours on social media of a TRAPPIST-1h discovery already. We will hopefully improve on this in future if there is interest and welcome feedback on this lightcurve.

GP fit to long cadence data via usual k2sc pipeline, taking centroids instead of WCS information though. GP fit to short cadence data using unpublished Aigrain+ method which divides it up into chunks, processes each one separately, and stitches together. All mistakes Ben Pope's entirely.

In particular for TRAPPIST-1, if you use these light curves in any publications, we would really like to be included as co-authors!
