Abstract:
In the third paper of this series we continue the exploitation of
Kepler/K2 data in dense stellar fields using our PSF-based method.
This work is focused on a ∼720-arcmin2 region centred on the
Solar-metallicity and Solar-age open cluster M 67. We extracted light
curves for all detectable sources in the Kepler channels 13 and 14,
adopting our technique based on the usage of a high-angular-resolution
input catalogue and target-neighbour subtraction. We detrended light
curves for systematic errors, and searched for variables and
exoplanets using several tools. We found 451 variables, of which 299
are new detection. Three planetary candidates were detected by our
pipeline in this field. Raw and detrended light curves, catalogues,
and K2 stacked images used in this work will be released to the
community.
Description:
The K2 observations were performed during C5. The data set includes
3620 usable long-cadence observations, that spanned over 74.82d
(2015 April 27-July 10). The bulk of M 67 falls in between the two
KEPLERCAM channels 13 (Ch13) and 14 (Ch14) of module 6. In this work
we focus exclusively on the point sources monitored by K2/C5 on these
two channels.

Note (1): If Period = 74.82 d, the star could be either
irregular/long-period variable or the observed variability is due to a
systematic effect
Note (2): From Nardiello et al. (2016, Cat. J/MNRAS/455/2337)
Note (3): Light-curve classification flag as follows:
1 = candidate variable
2 = "difficult-interpretation" object
3 = possible blend
