We analyze short cadence K2 light curve of the TRAPPIST-1 system. Fourier analysis of the data suggests Prot=3.295±0.003 days. The light curve shows several flares, of which we analyzed 42 events, these have integrated flare energies of 1.26×1030−1.24×1033 ergs. Approximately 12% of the flares were complex, multi-peaked eruptions. The flaring and the possible rotational modulation […]
