Kepler ID |
Non-unique Kepler ID identifying corresponding entry in the Kepler Input Catalog. Note multiple observations can be made with the same Kepler ID. Also used in naming data files. |
range: 757,076 to < 13 million and 100 million to 100,003,082 |

| KOI |
KOI |
Kepler Object of Interest designation. Decimal value represents possible planet number. |

| Kp |
Kepmag |
Kepler magnitude as specified in the Kepler Input Catalog |

float |
| Degree_RA |
RA (J2000) |
Right Ascension in decimal degrees of host star |
range: 279.63 to 301.82, although values are stored in decimal degrees, valid formats for queries include: "19 28 29.65", "19h28m29s", 292.12354 |

Dec (J2000) |
Declination in decimal degrees of host star |
range: 36.56 to 52.47, stored in decimal degrees but can be queried using values such as: "+37 14 04.5", "37.23458" |

Duration |
Transit duration, first contact to last contact |

double |
| Depth |
Depth |
Transit depth at center of transit; part per million |
|
integer |
| SNR |
SNR |
Total SNR of all transits detected. SNR=Depth/(Std*sqrt(N)) where Std is the standard deviation of all data outside of transits. |

float |
| t0 |
t0 |
Time of a transit center (BJD-2454900), based on a linear fit to all observed transits. |

double |
| e_t0 |
e_t0 |
Uncertainty in t0 |
|
float |
| Per |
Period |
Average interval between transits based on a linear fit to all observed transits. For candidates with only one observed transit, the period is estimated from the duration and knowledge of the stellar radius; values are then rounded to the nearest integer and multiplied by -1. |
|
double |
| e_Per |
e_Period |
Uncertainty in period. |
|
double |
| d_R |
d/R |
Ratio of the planet-star separation at the time of transit to the stellar radius. In the special case of zero eccentricity, it is the ratio of the semi-major axis to the stellar radius. Note for planets in non-circular orbits, a/R* is the scaled planet-star separation at the time of transit. |

r/R |
Ratio of planet radius to stellar radius |

| e_r_R |
e_r/R |
Uncertainty in r/R* |

| b |
b |
Impact parameter of the transit. Note, that there is a strong co-variance between b and a/R*. A 0 value indicates a poor fit. |

| f_Teff |
f_teff |
Flag idescribing source of Teff, log(g) and Rad values |
0: Teff, log(g), and Rad are derived using KIC J-K color and linear interpolation of luminosity class V stellar properties of Schmidt-Kaler (1982). 1: KIC Teff and log(g) are used as initial values for MCMC parameter search of Yonsei-Yale stellar evolution models yielding Teff, log(g), and Rad. 2: Teff, log(g), and Rad are derived using SPC spectral synthesis and interpolation of the Yale-Yonsei evolutionary tracks. 3: Teff, log(g), and Rad are derived using SME spectral synthesis and interpolation of the Yale-Yonsei evolutionary tracks. |
