NASA Exoplanet Archive
NASA Exoplanet Archive • Data Archive • Operational
Overview:
The NASA Exoplanet Archive is a general purpose stellar and planetary archive dedicated to supporting the astronomical community’s exoplanet discovery and characterization activities. It pursues two main avenues: it collects basic data for stars with exoplanets and stars that are potential hosts for exoplanets; and it archives time series data from programs searching for exoplanet transits.
The NASA Exoplanet Archive charter includes:
- Curate scientific data related to exoplanets and potential host stars
- Facilitate scientific exploitation of these data sets
- Support target selection and science planning for future exoplanet observations
Stellar Services
- Data related to 140,000 bright nearby stars
- All known planet-hosting stars
- Query for individual stars or by stellar/planetary parameters
- Images and spectra
Exoplanet Services
- U.S. portal to the public CoRoT mission data
- Data related to known exoplanets
- Time series photometric data on known transiting exoplanets
- Radial velocity data of exoplanet hosting stars
- Dedicated interface related to exo-planet transit surveys
IPAC's role:
The NASA Exoplanet Archive is located within IPAC at Caltech.
