Where do I go to find the most recent report on data quirks, peculiarities, flaws, etc.?
The Project expects to puts out at least one set of Data Release Notes each quarter. These reports are on the left gutter of the MAST/Kepler home page. The notes detail many of the vagaries of the data, including the latest information on noise sources, “argabrightening,” loss of detectors, and so on. The notes are public even though almost all the data they refer to are proprietary. Users interested in attributes of data for a given quarter should start with the corresponding Release Notes version. However, it is useful to consult higher versions that may contain updates on tests on data properties. In February, 2011 the Project delivered the Kepler Data Characteristics Handbook, which is meant to be the definitive “static” document describing nonstandard properties of Kepler data. • Have any Kepler detectors been lost since the start of mission operations? Yes: All 4 channels of Module 3 (1 of 21) failed on Jan. 9, 2010 (MJD55205.745) during Quarter 4, and the Project has declared it
