Are there other UV-optical-IR missions that have surveyed the Kepler field?

0

The 2MASS Survey, a survey of 70% of the full sky at the 3 infrared J, H, K bands (1.25, 1.65, and 2.17 microns), includes nearly all bright KIC targets, and is fairly complete down to KEPMAG 16 or 17. For all but faint KIC objects the 2MASS_ID often provides a good (though imperfect) substitute for Kepler_ID values in queries on the MAST search pages, particularly for cross-referencing to external catalogs. Users should be also aware of objects observed from the ground in the Kepler All Sky Automated Survey. This is a photometric survey dedicated to the ground-based study of optical variables in the whole observable sky (both hemispheres), including the Kepler field. • Does the Digitized Sky Survey cover the Kepler field? Yes. Go to the Google Sky site and enter the following in the string: http://keplergo.arc.nasa.gov/tools/KeplerFOV.kml to see the location of the Kepler CCD “footprints” against a Digital Sky Survey map of the sky.
