A major bottleneck for the exploitation of data from the Kepler mission for exoplanet demographics has been the lack of precise properties for most of the observed stars. In this talk, I will present the Gaia-Kepler Stellar Properties Catalog, the first homogeneous and precise characterization of all Kepler targets with ...
