Abstract:
We present results from the first two quarters of a survey to search
for pulsations in compact stellar objects with the Kepler spacecraft.
The survey sample and the various methods applied in its compilation
are described, and spectroscopic observations are presented to
separate the objects into accurate classes. From the Kepler photometry
we clearly identify nine compact pulsators and a number of interesting
binary stars.
Description:
For the survey phase of the Kepler Mission, three groups submitted
proposals containing candidate hot subdwarf and white dwarf stars. Of
the stars included in these proposals, 142 were accepted into the list
of KASC survey stars. Of these, six were observed during the 9.7d
commissioning run, and 57 were observed during the first four (out
of 10) survey months. All 63 stars are listed in Table 1.
