We would like to thank the Kepler project, especially Jessie Dotson
and Natalie Batalha, for providing the information needed to
create the MAST Kepler web site and search interfaces, and
Susan Thompson and Martin Still who have contributed to ongoing
updates to the web site.
MAST wishes to thank the following people and groups
for contributing data for the Kepler
Enhanced Target Search interface:
The United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) project which is operated by the Joint
Astronomy Centre on behalf of the Science and Technology Facilities Council of the
U.K; the Cambridge Astronomical
Survey units at the University of Cambridge for reducing the data;
the Wide Field Astronomy Unit at the University of Edinburgh for making
the data available as a readily accessible archive;
and Phil Lucas from the Centre for Astrophysics
Research, University of Hertfordshire
for observing and supplying the UKIRT Catalog of J magnitudes in
the Kepler field of view.
The GALEX project, and particularly the observations planner, Dr. Karl
Forster, for planning GALEX observations in the Kepler field and Ms.
Min Hubbard, for delivering them to MAST promptly such that they
could be made available for the Kepler GO Cycle 4 program.
We wish to thank Dr. Karen Kinemuchi, whose contribution of the
USNO-Kepler Catalog has
allowed a cross matching of USNO Catalog objects to faint objects not in the Kepler Input Catalog.
Comments about the Kepler archive or MAST interface should
be sent to
