These modes of observation often only provided information on a single star at a time, however, Kepler provided the opportunity to observe hundreds of thousands of stars simultaneously. Over the duration of the primary 4-yr Kepler mission, and its 4-yr reconfigured K2 mission, the telescope observed at least 14 new and known roAp stars. This paper provides a summary the results of these observations, including a first look at the entire data sets, and provides a look forward to NASA's TESS mission.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-02-24T10:52:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "kepler space telescope", "roap stars", "nasas tess mission", "entire data sets", "single star" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
