Abstract (from CDS):

We use three campaigns of K2 observations to complete the census of rotation in low-mass members of the benchmark, ~=670 Myr old open cluster Praesepe. We measure new rotation periods (Prot) for 220 ~< 1.3 M☉ Praesepe members and recovery periods for 97% (793/812) of the stars with a Prot in the literature. Of the 19 stars for which we do not recover a Prot, 17 were not observed by K2. As K2's three Praesepe campaigns took place over the course of 3 yr, we test the stability of our measured Prot for stars observed in more than one campaign. We measure Prot consistent to within 10% for >95% of the 331 likely single stars with ≥ 2 high-quality observations; the median difference in Prot is 0.3%, with a standard deviation of 2%. Nearly all of the exceptions are stars with discrepant Prot measurements in Campaign 18, K2's last, which was significantly shorter than the earlier two (~=50 days rather than ~=75 days). This suggests that, despite the evident morphological evolution we observe in the light curves of 38% of the stars, Prot measurements for low-mass stars in Praesepe are stable on timescales of several years. A Prot can therefore be taken to be representative even if measured only once.
