Preparation of Kepler light curves for asteroseismic analyses

ABSTRACT The Kepler mission is providing photometric data of exquisite quality for the asteroseismic study of different classes of pulsating stars. These analyses place particular demands on the pre‐processing of the data, over a range of time‐scales from minutes to months. Here, we describe process...

Zusammenfassung:	ABSTRACT The Kepler mission is providing photometric data of exquisite quality for the asteroseismic study of different classes of pulsating stars. These analyses place particular demands on the pre‐processing of the data, over a range of time‐scales from minutes to months. Here, we describe processing procedures developed by the Kepler Asteroseismic Science Consortium to prepare light curves that are optimized for the asteroseismic study of solar‐like oscillating stars in which outliers, jumps and drifts are corrected.
