Kepler Stellar Information

Interactive Table

The Kepler Stellar interactive table contains parameters for all targets observed by Kepler for the purpose of finding transiting planets. Individual tables include the values used for that specific processing, including the Q1-12, Q1-16, Q1-17 DR 24, and Q1-17 DR 25 pipeline runs. One additional table, the Q1-17 DR 25 Supplemental Stellar, includes values provided by the Kepler Stellar Properties Working Group (SPWG) independent of any pipeline processing in order to report their most current stellar values. All of these tables can be searched individually or as a set (see links below).

For the Q1-16 and Q1-17 DR 24 tables, values that enable users to compute completeness are provided (Duty Cycle, Data Span, Robust CDPP, and MES threshold). Not all stars in a stellar table were necessarily searched by TPS. Roughly 1,600 stars in the table were excluded for various reasons, the most common being that it was previously identified as a deep eclipsing binary that causes runtime issues for the pipeline. The completeness columns for these objects will be null.
