Kepler Completeness and Reliability Products
This page contains a list of data products produced by the Kepler team related to completeness and reliability of the pipeline. In some cases, these products are incorporated into existing products, such as the TCE table.
Completeness data products examine how many transiting planets around the observed stars are detected as planet candidates. See Burke et al. (2015) for an example planet occurrence rate calculation using these data products.
The data links on this page all refer to products generated with the Kepler operational data.
For links to the simulated data products, see the Kepler Simulated Data page.
