The HST-K2 View of Uranus

We present Hubble Space Telescope imaging of Uranus taken during the K2 Campaign 8 photometric campaign. The high resolution HST maps of the planet complement the 27 day, broadband, unresolved K2 optical photometry taken at one-minute cadence. The HST maps demonstrate Uranus was in a quiet phase, with no large storms. This is consistent with the K2 photometry, which shows no modulation by weather features. This is in stark contrast to the K2 Campaign 3 Neptune photometry, which was dominated by multiple storms at different latitudes. We discuss comparisons to exoplanet and brown dwarf photometric light curves.
