TheExtrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] Encyclopaedia of exoplanetary systems andCatalogue of Exoplanets ) is anastronomy website , founded inParis ,France at theMeudon Observatory byJean Schneider in February 1995,[ 7] [ 8] extrasolar planets , with individual pages for each planet and a full list interactive catalog spreadsheet. The main catalogue comprises databases of all of the currently confirmed extrasolar planets as well as a database of unconfirmed planet detections. The databases are frequently updated with new data from peer-reviewed publications and conferences.
In their respective pages, theplanets are listed along with their basic properties, including the year of planet's discovery,mass ,radius ,orbital period ,semi-major axis ,eccentricity ,inclination ,longitude of periastron , time ofperiastron ,maximum time variation , andtime of transit , including all error range values.
The individual planet data pages also contain the data on the parent star, including name, distance inparsecs ,spectral type ,effective temperature ,apparent magnitude ,mass ,radius ,age , and celestial coordinates (Right Ascension andDeclination ). Even when they are known, not all of these figures are listed in the interactive spreadsheet catalog, and many missing planet figures that would simply require the application ofKepler's third law of motion are left blank. Most notably absent on all pages is a star'sluminosity .
As of June 2011, the catalog includes objects up to 25 Jupiter masses,[ 9] [ 10] [ 11] [ 12]
