Are there other Kepler catalogs delivered to MAST?
The Project delivers to MAST the Kepler Target Catalog (KTC) and the Characteristics Table (CT). The KTC is basically an observing log, containing both the observed and planned targets. This catalog is delivered to MAST quarterly. The CT contains object-specific information pertaining to the Kepler objects, such as the column and row pixel location. The CT is to be redelivered annually. Access to information in these catalogs is via MAST’s Kepler Search and Retrieval page and Kepler Target Search page. See the on-line help, available on these pages, for details. • Are there objects visible to the Kepler detectors that are not in the KIC? Yes. The KIC includes objects as faint as 21st magnitude, although its coverage is not complete to this brightness level. In particular, variable sources and extended sources with low surface brightness may not be in the KIC because they were not in the ground-based catalogs that were used to make it. The “Galaxy/star” flag (range = 0 to 1) provides a
