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. https://keplergo.arc.nasa.gov/ The catalog is available at: https://archive.stsci.edu/kepler/kic.html |
