Downloading Data in Bulk
The NASA Exoplanet Archive serves a variety of spectra, time series and other exoplanet-related data, and has generated a set of wget scripts to enable users to download these data in bulk.
To use these scripts, you must have wget installed and included in your environment path before executing the scripts. For more information about installing and using wget, please read the wget help page.
If you are looking for specific data sets for UKIRT, MOA, or SuperWASP, see their respective bulk data download pages:
For best performance, do not run more than 4 wget scripts in parallel. Running additional parallel scripts will not decrease the total download duration.
Kepler Pipeline Scripts
These reports were generated by the Kepler Team during the evaluation of TCEs and KOIs. The Data Validation (DV) reports and the Planet Detection Metrics were produced by the Kepler Pipeline. DV reports are multi-page reports produced for each KIC source with one or more TCEs. DV Summaries are one-page summaries produced for each TCE in each data release. The TCERT reports were used by the Threshold Crossing Event Review Team to vet the pipeline-produced TCEs.
| Data Set | Description | Download File | wget File Creation Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| DV Summaries | The Exoplanet Archive serves 34031 Data Validation (DV) Summary Reports for the Q1-Q17 DR25 data release. These are PDF digests containing the most valuable diagnostics for evaluating TCEs and dispositioning them into planet candidates and false positives. (95 GB) | wget_DV_SUM.bat | 2025-01-16 |
| DV Reports | The Exoplanet Archive serves 17229 detailed DV Reports for the Q1-Q17 DR25 data release. These provide the background for the information in the DV Summary Reports and additional analyses. (207 GB) | wget_DV_REP.bat | 2025-01-16 |
| KOI DV Summaries | The Exoplanet Archive serves 9218 Data Validation Summary Reports of TCEs which Kepler Host star have associated Kepler Objects of Interest (KOI). The number of summary reports may not match the total KOI count because not all KOIs have corresponding TCEs. The reports here come from the data release as indicated in the TCE Delivery column listed in the Cumulative KOI Data. (27 GB) | wget_KOI_DV_SUM.bat | 2025-01-16 |
| KOI DV Reports | The Exoplanet Archive serves 8063 detailed DV Reports of TCEs which Kepler Host star have associated Kepler Objects of Interest (KOI). Reports for host stars of multiple systems will contain data for all KOIs in that system. The reports here come from the data release as indicated in the TCE Delivery column listed in the Cumulative KOI Data. (80 GB) | wget_KOI_DV_REP.bat | 2025-01-16 |
| TCERT Reports | The Exoplanet Archive makes available the materials used by the Threshold Crossing Event Review Team (TCERT) to vet the TCEs for the Q1-Q17 DR25 data release. These PDF files contain the diagnostic plots and data for all TCEs (grouped by star, resulting in 16736 files) and include diagnostics produced by DV as well as additional ones calculated outside of the Kepler pipeline. (82 GB) | wget_TCERT_REP.bat | 2025-01-16 |
| Planet Detection Metrics | The Exoplanet Archive serves 397418 Planet Detection Metrics files (Window Function and One-sigma Depth Function) for the Q1-Q17 DR25 data release. These quantify the ability of the Transit Planet Search module to detect a transiting planet signature on a star-by-star basis. (670 GB) | wget_PDM.bat | 2025-01-16 |
| Planet Detection Metrics for KOIs | The Exoplanet Archive serves 16428 Planet Detection Metrics files (Window Function and One-sigma Depth Function) for the Q1-Q17 DR25 data release for stars associated to Kepler Objects of Interest (KOI). (22 GB) | wget_KOI_PDM.bat | 2025-01-16 |

Kepler Time Series Scripts
Light curves were generated by the Kepler pipeline and are archived at MAST. Here, we provide wget scripts to retrieve all of the light curves from the NASA Exoplanet Archive. While the wget scripts are relatively small (script file size are given in Description), the volume of data retrieved is significant. Most Kepler Quarterly scripts will retrieve 175 GB and the full set of Kepler light curves approach 3 TB.
