Description
The Kepler spacecraft observed over 2000 faint stars that were part of
our Guest Observer proposals. The stars were selected from the Kepler
Input Catalog (KIC) to be in or near the γ Doradus or δ
Scuti instability strips (8300 K > T eff > 6200 K and
3.6 < log g < 4.7). The Kepler magnitude was <16 and the
contamination factor was < 10-2. The goal was to extend
the search for ``hybrid'' δ Sct-γ Dor pulsators to fainter
magnitudes. By inspecting the light curves and Fourier transforms, we
find 42 δ Sct candidate stars, 299 γ Dor candidates, and 36
``hybrid'' candidate stars showing both types of variations.
