Selection caveat
Stars with a Kepler planet candidate (disposition CANDIDATE). The KOI table gives no distance; the distance is that of Berger et al. (2020), the Gaia-Kepler Stellar Properties Catalog, and a star with no distance there is not in the atlas. A candidate is not a confirmed planet. A star that is also a confirmed-planet host keeps its confirmed-host record.
