摘要：

美国宇航局的开普勒太空望远镜在21个不同的视场中收集了781，590个独特的邮票目标的高精度，高节奏的时间序列测光。这些观察已经产生了来自63个国家的作者的2，496篇科学出版物。完整的数据集现在是公开的，可以从NASA的数据档案中获得，从而能够继续调查和发现系外行星，振荡星，食双星，恒星变异，星团，超新星，星系，小行星等等。在本白皮书中，我们讨论了归档数据支持的21个重要数据分析项目。本文的目的是帮助新用户了解在分析开普勒数据时可能留下的重要科学成果，并鼓励继续使用档案。随着TESS任务即将开始发布数据，这些研究将为新的实验，新的调查和新的分析技术提供信息。开普勒任务提供了一个前所未有的数据集，其精度和持续时间在几十年内都是无与伦比的。本文讨论的研究表明，开普勒的许多贡献仍然摆在我们面前，由于出现了互补的新数据集，如盖亚，新的数据分析方法，并在计算能力的进步。开普勒独特的数据档案将在未来几年提供新的发现，触及美国宇航局三大天体物理学问题中的每一个关键方面：宇宙是如何运作的？我们是怎么到这一步的只有我们吗？

英文摘要：

NASA's Kepler Space Telescope has collected high-precision, high-cadence time series photometry on 781,590 unique postage-stamp targets across 21 different fields of view. These observations have already yielded 2,496 scientific publications by authors from 63 countries. The full data set is now public and available from NASA's data archives, enabling continued investigations and discoveries of exoplanets, oscillating stars, eclipsing binaries, stellar variability, star clusters, supernovae, galaxies, asteroids, and much more. In this white paper, we discuss 21 important data analysis projects which are enabled by the archive data. The aim of this paper is to help new users understand where there may be important scientific gains left to be made in analyzing Kepler data, and to encourage the continued use of the archives. With the TESS mission about to start releasing data, the studies will inform new experiments, new surveys, and new analysis techniques. The Kepler mission has provided an unprecedented data set with a precision and duration that will not be rivaled for decades. The studies discussed in this paper show that many of Kepler's contributions still lie ahead of us, owing to the emergence of complementary new data sets like Gaia, novel data analysis methods, and advances in computing power. Kepler's unique data archive will provide new discoveries for years to come, touching upon key aspects of each of NASA's three big astrophysics questions; How does the universe work? How did we get here? Are we alone?
