Abstract

We have begun a project aimed at providing a large consistent set of well-vetted solar analogs in order to address questions of stellar rotation, activity, dynamos, and gyrochronology. We make use of the K2 mission fields to obtain precise photometric time series, supplemented by ground-based photometric and spectroscopic data for promising candidates. From this data we will derive rotation periods, spot coverages, and flare rates for a well-defined and well-calibrated sample of solar analogs.
