Contribution
It presents a comprehensive, uniformly derived dataset of transiting systems, enabling more accurate comparative and statistical studies of exoplanets and brown dwarfs.
Findings
Homogeneous measurements for 58 systems
Critical compilation of literature values
Accessible online catalogue for researchers
Abstract
The derived physical properties of the known transiting extrasolar planetary systems come from a variety of sources, and are calculated using a range of different methods so are not always directly comparable. I present a catalogue of the physical properties of 58 transiting extrasolar planet and brown dwarf systems which have been measured using homogeneous methods, resulting in quantities which are internally consistent and well-suited to detailed statistical study. The main results for each object, plus a critical compilation of literature values for all known systems, have been placed in an online catalogue.
