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.

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.

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.
"Kepler Published Planets" is a catalog created from NExScI catalogs listing of published exoplanets found using
Kepler. All included metadata is from the published paper.
The Kepler Target Search interface provides access to a 12.5 million row table created by MAST by joining entries from the Kepler Input catalog (KIC) with the Kepler Characteristics table (CT) and merging these with "associated" entries from the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (IRT) project, the USNOb catalog, GALEX, the Kepler Isaac Newton Telescope Survey (KIS), and the Everett KPNO (UBV) survey. The search interface allows users to find targets within the Kepler field of view (FOV) and allows searches on magnitudes, colors, and other parameters for both KIC and associated non-KIC targets.
This is the recommended interface for potential guest observers to locate possible targets for observation. GO proposers however should check on the target's position by either (or both) looking to one of our posted FFI images and seeing if it is on a chip, and (2) confirming this with the GO office.
All MAST catalog holdings are available via a ConeSearch endpoint.
The Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) catalog holdings at MAST are available with this access url.
All available missions are listed at http://archive.stsci.edu/vo/mast_services.html.
All MAST catalog holdings are available via a ConeSearch endpoint.
This service provides access to MAST holdings with pointing positional information in the Common Archive Observation Model (CAOM) database, by providing access to the ObsPointing table as a cone search. This serves the same data as the MAST CAOMTAP service, linked as an auxiliary capability.
Available missions are listed at http://archive.stsci.edu/vo/mast_services.html.
All MAST catalog holdings are available via a ConeSearch endpoint.
This service provides access to all, with an optional non-standard parameter for an individual catalog to query.
The available missions are listed at http://archive.stsci.edu/vo/mast_services.html,
and include Hubble (HST) data, Kepler, K2, IUE, HUT, EUVE, FUSE, UIT, WUPPE, BEFS, TUES, IMAPS, High Level Science Products (HLSP), Copernicus, HPOL, VLA First, XMM-OM, and SWIFT.
All MAST catalog holdings are available via a ConeSearch endpoint.
This service provides access to all MAST holdings with positional information that have been ingested into the Common Archive Observation Model (CAOM) and its summarized ObsCore format. It provides access to the same data as the CAOMTAP TAP service, linked as an auxiliary resource.
