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_table()
>>> eod_table[:2]
<QTable length=2>
    A        AUPPER   ... NAME_LOWERCASE              sky_coord
    AU         AU     ...                              deg,deg
 float64    float64   ...     str19                     object

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
    (297.70890417, 48.08029444)>
