To conduct this search, we developed new methods to correct for instrumental effects such as intrapixel variability and gain variations. We then extracted and analyzed the time-series photometry of Neptune from 49 days of nearly continuous broadband photometry of the planet. We find no evidence of global oscillations and place an upper limit of ∼5 ppm at 1000 μ {Hz} for the detection of a coherent signal. With an observed cadence of 1 minute and a point-to-point scatter of less than 0.01%, the photometric signal is dominated by reflected light from the Sun, which is in turn modulated by atmospheric variability of Neptune at the 2% level. A change in flux is also observed due to the increasing distance between Neptune and the K2 spacecraft and the solar variability with convection-driven solar p modes present. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/27149 | URL: | https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/aa6119 | ISSN: | 0004-6256 | DOI: | 10.3847/1538-3881/aa6119 | Bibcode ADS: | 2017AJ....153..149R | Fulltext: | open |
