Deep GALEX UV Survey of the Kepler Field I: Point Source Catalog
  We report observations of a deep near-ultraviolet (NUV) survey of the Kepler
field made in 2012 with the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) Complete All-Sky
UV Survey Extension (CAUSE). The GALEX-CAUSE Kepler survey (GCK) covers 104
square degrees of the Kepler field and reaches limiting magnitude NUV=22.6 at
3{\sigma}. Analysis of the GCK survey has yielded a catalog of 669,928 NUV
sources, of which 475,164 are cross-matched with stars in the Kepler Input
Catalog (KIC). Approximately 327 of 451 confirmed exoplanet host stars and 2614
of 4696 candidate exoplanet host stars identified by Kepler have NUV photometry
in the GCK survey. The GCK catalog should enable the identification and
characterization of UV-excess stars in the Kepler field (young solar-type and
low-mass stars, chromospherically active binaries, white dwarfs, horizontal
branch stars, etc.), and elucidation of various astrophysics problems related
to the stars and planetary systems in the Kepler field.
