Exploring Exoplanet Parameters

The NASA Exoplanet Archive is an online astronomical exoplanet and stellar catalog and data service that collates and cross-correlates astronomical data and information on exoplanets and their host stars and provides tools to work with these data.
A presentation by Rachel Akeson at AAS in January 2015

The Exoplanet Archive contains data from many space-based missions and ground-based telescopes.

Exoplanet discovery historyExoplanet discovery history

Detection of the transit of the exoplanet across the host star is now the most common discovery method.

The two fundamental properties most commonly measured for exoplanets are the mass and the radius.

By 2020, there are likely to be over 10,000 known exoplanets
