Exoplanet Orbit Database (`astroquery.exoplanet_orbit_database`)¶

Accessing the planet table¶

You can access the complete tables from each table source, with units assigned to columns wherever possible.

>>> from astroquery.exoplanet_orbit_database import ExoplanetOrbitDatabase
>>> eod_table = ExoplanetOrbitDatabase.get_confirmed_planets_table()

>>> eod_table[:2]
<Table masked=True length=2>
pl_hostname pl_letter pl_discmethod ... pl_nnotes rowupdate  NAME_LOWERCASE
                                    ...
   str27       str1       str29     ...   int64     str10        str29
----------- --------- ------------- ... --------- ---------- --------------
 Kepler-151         b       Transit ...         1 2014-05-14   kepler-151 b
 Kepler-152         b       Transit ...         1 2014-05-14   kepler-152 b

You can query for the row from each table corresponding to one exoplanet:

>>> from astroquery.exoplanet_orbit_database import ExoplanetOrbitDatabase
>>> hatp11b = ExoplanetOrbitDatabase.query_planet('HAT-P-11 b')

Properties of a particular planet¶

The properties of each planet are stored in a table, with columns defined by the Exoplanet Orbit Database. There is also a special column of sky coordinates for each target, named sky_coord.

>>> from astroquery.exoplanet_orbit_database import ExoplanetOrbitDatabase
>>> hatp11b = ExoplanetOrbitDatabase.query_planet('HAT-P-11 b')

>>> hatp11b['PER']  # Planet period
<Quantity 4.8878162 d>

>>> hatp11b['R']  # Planet radius
<Quantity 0.422 jupiterRad>

>>> hatp11b['sky_coord'] # Position of host star
<SkyCoord (ICRS): (ra, dec) in deg
    ( 297.70891666,  48.08029444)>
