Kepler And L Dwarfs

I presented results from the original Kepler and new K2 missions on L dwarfs. The L1 dwarf star WISE 1906 was monitored with both Spitzer and Kepler, revealing variability and evidence of both clouds and flares. The L8 brown dwarf WISE 0607 was recently monitored with both Kepler K2 and Spitzer, but did not vary. I discussed challenges for the K2 analysis, which is ongoing, but many L dwarfs should be monitored in the future.

These are the slides shown. Work funded by NASA under award No. NNX13AC18G
