TL;DR
ExoData is a Python package that facilitates access, analysis, and querying of large exoplanet catalogues, enhancing reproducibility and efficiency in exoplanet research workflows.
Contribution
It introduces a Python interface for the Open Exoplanet Catalogue, enabling object-oriented data handling, advanced querying, and parameter computation for exoplanet research.
Findings
Enables retrieval of exact system parameters used in research articles.
Supports parsing spectral types and filling missing parameters.
Facilitates integration into data pipelines and target selection.
Abstract
Exoplanet science often involves using the system parameters of real exoplanets for tasks such as simulations, fitting routines, and target selection for proposals. Several exoplanet catalogues are already well established but often lack a version history and code friendly interfaces. Software that bridges the barrier between the catalogues and code enables users to improve the specific repeatability of results by facilitating the retrieval of exact system parameters used in an articles results along with unifying the equations and software used. As exoplanet science moves towards large data, gone are the days where researchers can recall the current population from memory. An interface able to query the population now becomes invaluable for target selection and population analysis. ExoData is a Python interface and exploratory analysis tool for the Open Exoplanet Catalogue. It allows…
