Scientific paper

Hosted by MAST, the Multi-Mission Archive at Space Telescope, the Kepler Archive now contains over a year's worth of observations on more than 150,000 objects. The observations consist of light curves, both public and proprietary, target pixel files and full frame images (FFI). Supporting information includes data release notes, the Instrument Handbook, an Archive Manual and SPIE papers describing the instrument and data processing (in advance of the Kepler Data Hand Book). High level science products (HLSP) for the announced planets are available. The archive also contains the Kepler Input Catalog (KIC), the Kepler Target Catalog (KTC) and the Characteristics Table (CT).
We will show examples of how to search for and retrieve data, including FFIs and light curves, how Kepler GOs and science team members can download their data from an ftp area, how to view public light curves and FFIs, and, for Kepler proposers, how to locate objects in the KIC. We will discuss the different ways of retrieving Kepler data. A companion poster details MAST's GALEX-Kepler cross-match catalog, a unique product that supplies UV colors to complement the KIC's ground-based observations.
Demos of the web site are available at the STScI booth.
