Description

We present KAKAPO, the Kepler and K2 Analysis of Phast-evolving Objects pipeline for detecting transients in the Kepler/K2 space telescope. KAKAPO reliably recovers known transient events using effective Point-Spread Function Correlation matching and is currently searching for new events. In this poster we present the pipeline and the initial results.
