Access to the Kepler archive is via MAST, the Multi-Mission Archive at Space Telescope. MAST hosts the Kepler Input Catalog (KIC), the Kepler Target Catalog (KTC) and the Characteristics Table (CT). The KIC, a compendium of objects in and near the Kepler field of view, was created from extant catalogs and ground-based photometry supported by the Kepler Project. The CT contains seasonal information for the KIC objects that fall on the detectors. The KTC is the observing log, and contains scheduling information for both planned and actual observations.
MAST provides web access to the KIC, CT, KTC and archive catalog for target location, data search and retrieval. The Target Search form and the Data Search and Retrieval form are the means provided to conduct these searches. Both forms have the look and feel of the standard MAST interface. The Data Search and Retrieval form leads to other standard forms that will look familiar to users who have queried MAST for HST and FUSE data.
We will show examples of how to use the Target Search page to search the KIC for targets to propose for Kepler observations, and how to use the Data Search and Retrieval page to locate and retrieve Kepler data. Any tools that exist will be included in these examples.
Demos of the web site are available at the STScI booth.
