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 6 of the Kepler Input Catalog was shipped to the Kepler Mission on 27 December 2006. It is still preliminary, and some of the entries are placeholders, so the data in this version should be used with caution and should not be distributed outside the Kepler Team. Nevertheless, Build 6 is a vast improvement over Build 5. It includes a lot more new ground-based photometry from KeplerCam, and it utilizes Tim's new scheme for estimating astrophysical characteristics from the photometry.
