PHL's Exoplanets Catalog

Last Update: December 5, 2019

Introduction

The PHL's Exoplanets Catalog (PHL-EC) contains observed and modeled parameters for all currently confirmed exoplanets derived from the NASA Exoplanet Archive, including those potentially habitable. The main difference between PHL-EC and other exoplanets databases is that it contains estimated parameters, habitability assessments, and planetary classifications. The catalog is available as a comma separated value format (CSV) file in the link below.

Version 20191205: phl_exoplanet_catalog.csv

Known Issues: Many fields are in machine precision with unnecessary zeros. Fields are not sorted, e.g. planetary data first and then stellar properties. There are a few missing fields from the previous catalog, e.g. estimated surface temperature. All these minor issues should be corrected in a future version. Please report any other issues to abel.mendez@upr.edu.

DISCLAIMER: The PHL's Exoplanets Catalog combines measured and modeled parameters from various sources. It is good for visualizations, statistical analyses, and education. For research purposes always check measured vs modeled values from the original scientific papers.
