Title:: Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer
Short Name:: EUVE
Date:: 22 Jul 2020 21:28:51
Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:: Launched in June, 1992, The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) conducted the first extreme ultraviolet (70-760 Angstroms) survey of the sky and subsequently began a Guest Observer Program of pointed

Title:: Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer
Short Name:: FUSE
Date:: 22 Jul 2020 21:29:31
Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:: The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE), launched on June 24, 1999, covers the 905-1187 Å spectral region and will obtain high resolution spectra of hot and cool stars, AGNs, supernova remnants, planetary nebulae, solar system objects as well as perform detailed studies of the interstellar medium. FUSE will be able to observe sources 10 000 times fainter than Copernicus, an early FUV mission, and has superior resolving power than the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT) and the Berkeley Spectrograph (BEFS) and the Tübingen Echelle Spectrograph (TUES) of the Orbiting Retrievable Far and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometers (ORFEUS). FUSE was planned for a 3 year lifetime with funding for an additional 2 years expected.

Title:: High Speed Photometer
Short Name:: HST.HSP
Date:: 23 Jul 2020 19:49:53
Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:: The High Speed Photometer (HSP) was one of the four original axial instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The HSP was designed to make very rapid photometric observations of astrophysical sources in a variety of filters and passbands from the near ultraviolet to the visible. The HSP was removed from HST during the First Servicing Mission in December, 1993.

Title:: Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope
Short Name:: HUT
Date:: 22 Jul 2020 21:30:05
Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:: The Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT) was a shuttle-borne instrument used to obtain ultraviolet spectra in the far ultraviolet region of the spectrum. It was part of the ASTRO payload complement of three co-mounted instruments that flew in December 1990 and March 1995 as Space Shuttle missions. More than 650 spectra were obtained of 340 targets. In April, 2013, the HUT data was reprocessed to improve calibration, expand metadata, add new data products, and update file formats. The current cone service uses the metadata from these reprocessed files.

Title:: Kepler Data Search
Short Name:: Kepler CS
Date:: 22 Jul 2020 21:17:20
Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
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.

Title:: Kepler Data Search
Short Name:: KTC
Date:: 22 Jul 2020 21:12:32
Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
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.

Title:: Kepler Input Catalog
Short Name:: KIC
Date:: 12 Feb 2020 19:43:29
Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:: The KIC, or Kepler Input Catalog, is the primary source of information about objects observed as part of the ground-based Kepler Spectral Classification Program (SCP) in preparation for the selection of Kepler PI and GO targets. The KIC lists objects down to 21st magnitude, but it is not complete to this limit. Light from only about 1/3 of these 14 million objects falls on the Kepler CCD detector. A small number of the KIC objects are calibration objects distributed across the sky.

Title:: Kepler K2 Data Search Catalog
Short Name:: K2
Date:: 22 Jul 2020 21:33:57
Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
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. The K2 Data Search Service provides the main catalog for all K2 data.

Title:: Kepler K2 Ecliptic Plane Input Catalog
Short Name:: K2 EPIC

Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
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. The K2 Ecliptic Plane Input Catalog is the primary source of information about objects observed as potential targets for the K2 mission, as the Kepler Input Catalog was used for the original Kepler mission.

Title:: Kepler Objects of Interest (KOI)
Short Name:: KOI CS
Date:: 12 Feb 2020 19:51:12
Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
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. KOI is the Kepler Objects of Interest catalog listing observed Kepler targets which are flagged as potentially having exoplanets but may be false positives caused by other types of transient detection. This catalog is produced by the Kepler project and brought to MAST via NExScI.
