Three short cadence power spectra of bright solar-like targets observed during the first roll (Q1) have been released to KASC. Information about the preprocessing and format of the spectra are included as headers in the ASCII files below.
The power spectra can be downloaded here:

The Kepler Science PI, William Borucki, has now approved the release of the first roll (Q1) Kepler data for KASC analysis. It is understood that these data are not yet perfect since the pipeline analysis that was used to generate the data is still being fine turned and tested. We remind KASC that the access to those data is done in order to ensure optimization of the KAI program (e.g. selection of future targets) and one should therefore understand that not all aspects and features of the data is yet fully understood and calibrated.
The present release consist of a set of 2288 data files from the 34 day Q1 phase (13 May – 15 June 2009).
Dear members of KASC,
Since the launch of the Kepler satellite in March 2009 we have been looking forward to the moment when the first data
can be released to the members of KASC. This milestone in the Kepler Asteroseismic Investigation (KAI) will form the
beginning of a series of data releases following the steady stream of data from space. The Kepler Science PI, William
Borucki, has now approved the release of the first Kepler data for the KASC analysis to begin.
Before you use the data we require that you read all information relevant for data access and data policies and follow all guidelines provided. Notice that there is a publication embargo on KASC-provided data which is relevant for all publications and presentations. The embargo includes submission of papers, discussion with non-KASC members, presentations in seminars, lunch meetings etc.
Detailed information is provided via the KASOC information page. Please check this for relevant details. At the KASOC information page you will also get information on how to read the data-format.
The first release is a set of 2002 data files from the 10 day commissioning (CDPP) phase (2 to 11 May 2009). Those data contain targets from two KASC related target lists (KASC long cadence and the RGB astrometric list).
All KASC members should also note:
A. The non-disclosure agreement will give William Borucki ownership of any findings related to planets that may be detected:
