May 8, 2012: Reprocessed Kepler light curves from quarters 0-4 are now available in the archive. Reprocessed Kepler light curves from quarters 5-8 will be released at a later date. The reprocessing makes use of an updated version of the SOC pipeline. You can access the FITS files by clicking the Kepler Light Curves link on the left side of our home page.
April 27, 2012: The archive now provides pre-generated plots for current exoplanet and Kepler candidate data contained in the archive. These plots can be used as ready-made presentation material to describe the current state of the exoplanets in terms of their orbital and physical characteristics. To access, click the Pre-generated plots link in the Current Exoplanet Archive Holdings box on the home page.
April 5, 2012: The Community Follow-up Observing Program (CFOP) Web site to support observations of Kepler candidates is now available at https://cfop.ipac.caltech.edu. This Web-based tool aims to optimize resources and facilitate collaboration in follow-up studies of planet candidates in the Kepler field and is open to anyone interested in observations of Kepler objects.
The NASA Exoplanet Archive collects and serves public data to support the search for and characterization of extra-solar planets (exoplanets) and their host stars. The data include published light curves, images, spectra and parameters, and time-series data from surveys that aim to discover transiting exoplanets. Tools are provided to work with the data, particularly the display and analysis of transit data sets from Kepler and CoRoT. All data are validated by the Exoplanet Archive science staff and traced to their sources. The Exoplanet Archive is the U.S. data portal for the CoRoT mission.
