The NASA Exoplanet Archive: Data and Tools for Exoplanet Research

Abstract

We describe the contents and functionality of the NASA Exoplanet Archive, a\ndatabase and tool set funded by NASA to support astronomers in the exoplanet\ncommunity. The current content of the database includes interactive tables\ncontaining properties of all published exoplanets, Kepler planet candidates,\nthreshold-crossing events, data validation reports and target stellar\nparameters, light curves from the Kepler and CoRoT missions and from several\nground-based surveys, and spectra and radial velocity measurements from the\nliterature. Tools provided to work with these data include a transit ephemeris\npredictor, both for single planets and for observing locations, light curve\nviewing and normalization utilities, and a periodogram and phased light curve\nservice. The archive can be accessed at\nhttp://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu.\n
