SAO is responsible for the preparation of the Kepler Input Catalog, which will be used by the mission to select optimum targets. SAO will also be involved in follow-up observations of interesting candidates identified by Kepler. The goal of this web site is to document our activities for the Kepler Science Team and for other users of the Kepler Input Catalog and data from the mission.

Kepler Input Catalog
Build 10 of the Kepler Input Catalog (KIC) was delivered
to the Kepler Mission on 12 August 2008. Access to that version of
the KIC will be granted to users with a legitimate need. Contact Dave
Latham for more information. Previous builds of the KIC may be
floating around, but they all have serious deficiencies.
