Overview

The Kepler Smear Campaign is a study of the brightest stars in the Kepler field that were not observed conventionally by Kepler.  A total of 102 stars have light curves retrieved using smear photometry, where engineering data collected for photometric calibration (collateral "smear" measurements) can be used to reconstruct light curves for bright targets that did not ohterwise get postage stamps read out.  Both short cadence and long cadence light curves are obtained, presented in FITS format.  The light curves are detrended following the same approach used by the mission pipeline, applying Pre-search Data Conditioning (PDC) cotrending basis vectors.  See Pope et al. (2019) for detailed information on how the light curves are extracted from the collateral smear measurements and detrended.

Data Products

Each target has a single FITS file that contains the light curve timestamps and fluxes in the first FITS extension in a binary FITS table.  The timestamps are stored in MJD format in a column called "BJD".  The "BACKGROUND" column stores the final background light curve, derived using a Gaussian Process to reduce noise in the background model.  The "FLUX" column contains the raw fluxes from the aperture that results in the lowest 6.5-hour Combined Differential Photometric Precision fluxes, while the different versions of the CBV-corrected flux timeseries are available in columns called "FLUX[1-5]_CORR_[4,8]", depending on whether 4 or 8 CBVs are used.  The numbers after the FLUX column label specify which aperture was used.  So, FLUX5_CORR_4 are the raw fluxes from the fifth aperture corrected using 4 CBVs.  The column FLUX_CORR_4 is the best raw photometry (FLUX column) detrended with 4 CBVs, while FLUX_CORR_8 is the best raw photometry detrended with 8 CBVs.
