Abstract:
The K2 Mission (Howell+, 2014PASP..126..398H 2014PASP..126..398H) uses the Kepler
spacecraft to obtain high-precision photometry over ∼80 day campaigns
in the ecliptic plane. The Ecliptic Plane Input Catalog (EPIC)
provides coordinates, photometry, and kinematics based on a federation
of all-sky catalogs to support target selection and target management
for the K2 mission.
Description:
The construction of the EPIC, as well as modifications and
shortcomings of the catalog are described in Huber+, 2016, J/ApJS/224/2
Changes for Campaigns 0-3, 7-10 and 16 are described in:
http://archive.stsci.edu/k2/manuals/epic.pdf
Kepler magnitudes (Kp) are shown to be accurate to ∼0.1mag for the
Kepler field, and the EPIC is typically complete to Kp∼17 (Kp∼19 for
campaigns covered by Sloan Digital Sky Survey).

Note (1): The EPIC identifier "KepFlag" keeps track of which photometry was
used to calculate the Kepler magnitude. The prioritization
was adopted as follows:
gri = Kp was calculated from gri magnitudes using Equations (2)-(5) in
Brown+ (2011, J/AJ/142/112).
BV = Sloan gr was estimated from Johnson BV using the transformations by
Bilir+ (2005, J/AN/326/321):
Equation (1): g-r=1.124(B-V)-0.252 and
Equation (2): g=V+0.634(B-V)-0.108
Kp was then calculated from gr using Equation (2) in
Brown+ (2011, J/AJ/142/112).
JHK = Kp was calculated using the polynomial J-K relations by
Howell+ (2012ApJ...746..123H 2012ApJ...746..123H).
Given x=J-K these transformations are:
Equation (3): Kp=0.42443603+3.7937617x-2.3267277x2
+1.4602553x3+K,
for all stars with J-H>0.75 and H-K>0.1 (approximate color cut for
giants), and
Equation (4): Kp=0.314377+3.85667x+3.176111x2
-25.3126x3+40.7221x4
-19.2112x5+K,
for all remaining stars. The above relations are applied for
-0.2<J-K<1.2 for giants and -0.2<J-K<1.0 for dwarfs, which are the
calibration ranges given by Howell+ (2012ApJ...746..123H 2012ApJ...746..123H).
J = For sources outside the color limits of Equations (3) and (4) or
sources which only have a valid J-band magnitude, a rough estimate of
Kp was calculated from the J-band magnitude using the relations by
Howell+ (2012ApJ...746..123H 2012ApJ...746..123H):
Equation (5):-398.04666+149.08127J-21.952130J2
+1.5968619J3-0.057478947J4
+0.00082033223J5+J
for J=10-16.7 and
Equation (6): Kp=0.1918+1.08156J for J>16.7.
See section 3 in Huber+, 2016, J/ApJS/224/2, for a further discussion.
Note (2): Flags indicate which observables were used to derive the
classification as follows:
hip = Hipparcos parallax + colors;
apo = APOGEE spectroscopic classification;
rav = RAVE spectroscopic classification;
lam = LAMOST spectroscopic classification;
rpm = reduced proper motions + colors;
col = colors only
Note (3): For sources with photometry in multiple catalogs, Tycho BV and
UCAC gri were prioritized over APASS BV and SDSS gri to avoid
saturation problems for bright stars.
