I wonder how this would be rendered in game

I don't speak Astronomer. Does anyone know how to identify the stars of the planets recently found by the Kepler space telescope? Because we can now go and check to see if the conclusions drawn from the observations are correct.

Just spent twenty minutes googling but nothing I get brings up the name and of the stars. Keep looking....

This one?

Kepler-186 is a M1-type dwarf star, located 492 ± 59 light years away in the constellation of Cygnus. It's the star with
planets orbiting it, with one of them in the goldylocks zone.

That and many others.
I imagine that the Kepler stars appeared in the star catalogue (like the Argos catalogue, but bigger) well before the space telescope was a twinkle in NASA's eye and already had name tags.
I also imagine that this is the catalogue that Frontier uses.
I further imagine that there must be a way to reconcile the old catalogue with the Kepler list of Objects of Interest.
At this point my imagination fails.
It picks up again at the point that I imagine I could visit these stars in my rusty trusty Cobra.

They updated some planets in the update. Could they be them.

Just logged on to the update. Kepler 438B is the planet - but which star? There's no response to a search for just Kepler 438 or Kepler-438.
