Description:
Launched in 2009, the Kepler Mission is surveying a region of our galaxy to determine what fraction of stars in our galaxy have planets and measure the size distribution of those exoplanets. Although Kepler completed its primary mission to determine the fraction of stars that have planets in 2013, it is continuing the search, using a more limited survey mode, under the new name K2. This service is the main Kepler data search.

Description:
This interface joins the Kepler Target Catalog (KTC) with other tables to allow users to access the Kepler data archive. Observed Kepler targets are included with their associated data set names. Since most of the Kepler light curve data is still proprietary, public data can be found by searching for release dates earlier than todays date.

Description:
The Kepler Mission (launched in 2009 March) provides nearly continuous monitoring of ~156000 objects with unprecedented photometric precision. Coincident with the first data release, we presented a catalog of 1879 eclipsing binary systems identified within the 115deg^2^ Kepler field of view (FOV). Here, we provide an updated catalog from paper I (Prsa et al. 2011, Cat. J/AJ/141/83) augmented with the second Kepler data release which increases the baseline nearly fourfold to 125 days. Three hundred and eighty-six new systems have been added, ephemerides and principal parameters have been recomputed. We have removed 42 previously cataloged systems that are now clearly recognized as short-period pulsating variables and another 58 blended systems where we have determined that the Kepler target object is not itself the eclipsing binary. A number of interesting objects are identified. We present several exemplary cases: four eclipsing binaries that exhibit extra (tertiary) eclipse events; and eight systems that show clear eclipse timing variations indicative of the presence of additional bodies bound in the system. We have updated the period and galactic latitude distribution diagrams. With these changes, the total number of identified eclipsing binary systems in the Kepler FOV has increased to 2165, 1.4% of the Kepler target stars.
