KIC (Kepler Input Catalog)= (Kepler) = (KID) Write:<<KIC NNNNNNNN>> N: about 30000000 Object:* (SIMBAD class: Star) Note:Kepler space mission to determine the frequency of Earth-size and larger planets orbiting a variety of stars. Prior to the launch of the Mission, a large area of the sky (centered at RA=19h22m40s, DEC=+44deg30') was suveyed using 5-band photometry (plus the J, H, & K bands from the 2MASS survey). The Kepler Input Catlog (KIC) lists the Kepler magnitude, surface gravity, effective temperature, metallicity, and interstellar extinction derived for the majority of these stars.
