Kepler/Gaia synergy science candidates.

ESA claimed that Gaia can be used for astrometric detection of exoplanets within 200 parsecs at least when it comes to Jupiter-mass planets.
This means that it would be possible to check if Kepler-discovered planets also host additional distant planets, allowing a better understanding of structure of planetary systems. It also allows to check if the orbits of distant planets are inclined with close-in planets.While the first Gaia data release won't probably be enough to confirm additional planets, it might still show if there's something unusual out there.
Here is the list of planet host stars in the original Kepler field:
Distance from 220 to 150 parsecs:
- TrES-2 (Kepler-1)
- Kepler-1439

Kepler K2 mission planet host stars:
Distance from 150-220 parsecs:
- K2-14
- WASP-47 (K2-23)
- K2-29
- K2-24
- BD+20 594 (K2-56)
From 100-150 parsecs:
- K2-33
- K2-17
- HIP-41378 (K2-93)
- K2-9
From 50 to 100 parsecs:
- K2-26
- K2-65
- K2-21
- HIP-116154 (K2-2)
- K2-28
Below 50 parsecs:
- K2-25
- K2-3
- K2-18
Note that many planets with Kepler and K2 names have no confirmed distances yet. Gaia will fix it and probably add many more planet host stars in the list.
