Choosing the Right Table For Your Needs

Choosing data from the PS or PSCompPars tables depends on your use case:

  • PS provides a single table view of the all of the ingested planetary systems for each known exoplanet with each row containing a self-contained set of parameters (planet + stellar + system) for each reference. The PS Table contains one row per planet per reference.
  • PSCompPars is a more filled-in table, with only one row per planet, enabling a more statistical view of the known exoplanet population and their host environments. This table provides a more complete, though not necessarily self-consistent, set of parameters.

For a comparison between the PS and PSComPars tables, see the following graphic:

Query-based Table Access

The PS and PSCompPars tables replaced the Confirmed Planets, Composite Parameters, and Extended Planet Data tables that were retired in April 2021. (For details, see the Transition page.)

If you were using the archive's application programming interface (API) to retrieve data from the retired tables, you need to create a new query to work with the archive's TAP service that points to one of the new tables. Please note the database column names have also changed; refer to the following documents to identify the appropriate database names for your scripts/queries:

  • Master list of columns in the PS, PSCompPars, Confirmed Planets, Extended Planet Data, and Composite Parameters tables: PDF   CSV
  • Column mapping between the new PS Table and the retired Confirmed Planets and Extended Planet Data tables: PDF  CSV
  • Column mapping between the new PSCompPars Table and the retired Composite Parameters Table: PDF  CSV
  • Parameters that were in the retired Confirmed Planets, Extended Planet Data and Composite Parameters tables, but NOT in the PS Table: PDF  CSV
