Ten New Planets, New Spectra for Two Planets

This week's 10 new planets are TOI-286 b & c, OGLE-2017-BLG-0448L b, TIC 4672985 b, TOI-2529 b, K2-419 A b, TOI-6034 b, TOI-5616 b, TOI-5634 A b, and TOI-5218 b. We've also added new data for 11 planets already in the archive. Check the planet's respective System Overview page or browse the Planetary Systems and Planetary Systems Composite Data tables.

For Atmospheric Spectroscopy Table updates, there is a new JWST spectrum for WASP-69 b (that shows water, CO2, and aerosols!) and another for the rocky planet GJ 1132 b, which rules out a thick atmosphere on the planet.

Also, we've updated the disposition of K2-399 b to False Positive Planet based on a published refutation. The object and its data remain on the K2-399 System Overview page and the K2 Planets and Candidates Table, but they're no longer included in the Planetary Systems tables.

Atmospheric Spectroscopy 2.0: Now With Direct Imaging Spectra!

Our Atmospheric Spectroscopy Table now serves spectra for directly imaged (DI) planets! To kick off this latest update, we've loaded the table with 37 spectra for 12 DI planets, with most of the spectra taken by JWST. These planets are 2MASS J12073346-3932539 b (a.k.a. TWA 27 b), VHS J125601.92-125723.9 b, 51 Eri b, GQ Lup b, HIP 65426 b, HR 8799 b, c, d, & e, PDS 70 b & c, and bet Pic b. There are also new transmission spectra for TOI-836 b, V1298 Tau b, and WASP-107 b.

This plot, generated by the Atmospheric Spectroscopy Table, visualizes four direct imaging spectra taken by JWST of VHS J1256-1257 b.

Some other improvements include:

  • The table's user interface now reflects recent changes to the Firefly framework, upon which the service is built.
  • The new DI spectra support has added more data columns and support for converting direct imaging values. Click the User Guide tab in the table's interface to view the updated documentation.
  • The spectrum type previously called emission is now referred to as eclipse.
  • The Planetary Systems tables have a new column for the Number of Direct Imaging Spectroscopy Measurements: pl_ndispec

These elements—and more—are listed and described on our Archive 2.0 Release Notes page. Or, just start working with the table now!

One final note: Is the table missing your favorite direct imaging spectrum? Let us know and we'll add it!

Four New Planets

We've also added four planets! Check out the data for HD 118203 c, TOI-4379 b, TOI-6029 b, and TOI-6255 b on their System Overview pages and in the Planetary Systems and Planetary Systems Composite Data tables.

Two New Earth-sized Planets Orbiting M Dwarfs!

Two exciting new exoplanets announced in the past week are now in the archive: Gliese 12 b and SPECULOOS-3 b. Both are nearby Earth-sized worlds that are prime candidates for JWST follow-up studies.

At 40 light-years away, Gliese 12 b (or Gl 12 b) is described as the nearest, transiting, temperate, Earth-sized world located to date. This discovery appears in two papers: Kuzuhara et al. 2024 and Dholakia et al. 2024; also, check out NASA's media release about the system, including some visualizations.

SPECULOOS-3 b is a tidally locked exoplanet about 55 light-years from Earth that was found by the Search for Planets EClipsing ULtra-cOOl Stars (SPECULOOS) project, which uses an array of robotic telescopes around the world to observe the skies. Learn more about the exoplanet and the team that found it in this NASA Discovery Alert; the discovery paper was published in Nature.

Both planets have been added to the archive's Planetary Systems and Planetary Systems Composite tables.

Ten Planets and 300,000 Exozodiacal Dust Levels

We've added 10 new planets this week, as well as new parameter sets for an additional 18 planets. One of this week's new planets (TOI-4336 A b) is a sub-Neptune in its host star's habitable zone, and its host star is part of a triple star system.

The other new planets are EPIC 248030407 b (ITG 15 b), G 196-3 b, HIP 77900 b, TIC 139270665 b & c, 2MASS J03590986+2009361 b, 2MASS J11011926-7732383 b, 2MASS J11550336-7919147 b, and 2MASS J21265040-8140293 b. Click on their names to go directly to their System Overview pages, or browse all system parameters in the archive (including this week's new sets) with the Planetary Systems and Planetary Systems Composite tables.

We've also added spectral data for TOI-1268 b to our Atmospheric Spectroscopy Table.

Planetary Systems Table Update! We've added new, non-default parameters to the Planetary Systems Composite Data Table for measuring the angular separation on the sky between a star and planet: pl_angsep, pl_angseperr1 (positive uncertainty), pl_angseperr2 (negative uncertainty), pl_angseplim (limit), and pl_angsep_reflink (reference).

Because these parameters are not defaults, they must be added to the table through the Select Columns interface. The following image indicates where to find the parameters; to add them, check the box(es) to display that column in the PSCompPars table and then click Update.

New Contributed Data: Exozodiacal Dust Measurements

The Hunt for Observable Signatures of Terrestrial planetary Systems (HOSTS) survey for exozodiacal dust concluded that the majority of Sun-like stars have relatively low habitable zone dust levels. The archive now hosts a subset of data from Ertel et al. (2020): a random draw of 300,000 exozodiacal dust levels from the best-fit luminosity function of HOSTS survey data. These data can be used to model the results of potential future missions, such as the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO).

Scroll to the Exozodiacal Dust section of our Contributed Data page to access the data and documentation.

(While we're on the topic of HWO, have you checked out our HWO ExEP Precursor Science Stars table?)

Know Thy Star: Introducing the New Stellar Hosts Table

Our newest interactive table, Stellar Hosts, provides a single access point to all stellar parameters of stars in systems with confirmed planets that are in the Exoplanet Archive. With this interface, you may browse stellar parameters of planetary systems that are in our Planetary Systems and Planetary Systems Composite Data tables, as well as stellar parameters that were previously only available on some System Overview pages (for example, the alf Cen page).

The Planetary Systems tables contain stellar parameters that correspond to planetary solutions, or planetary parameters published together as a set. But, many host stars, and their stellar companions, have stellar parameters determined separately from planetary solutions. Previously, these stellar solutions have only been available on the System Overview pages, so the new Stellar Hosts Table provides a consolidated view to these data. Note that the table does not yet include stellar parameters for stars hosting planetary candidates.

Stellar Hosts is similar to our other web-based, interactive tables, and includes our newest plotting feature for instant histogram and scatter plots (see our Jan. 18, 2024 news item for details). It's also supported by our Table Access Protocol (TAP) service. To set up a new query, consult our TAP User Guide and the table's data column definitions.

Once you've had a chance to try out the new table, let us know what you think!

  1. 14: New planets!
  2. 449: Planets with updated ephemerides from ExoClock III!
  3. 165: New parameter sets for confirmed planets!
  4. 1: New JWST transmission spectrum for WASP-96 b!

The new planets are HD 134606 b, c, d, e, & f, TOI-238 b & c, TOI-1386 b & c, TOI-1751 b, Kepler-48 f, Kepler-100 e, and Kepler-139 d & e. Click on their names to go directly to their System Overview pages, or browse all system parameters in the archive (including this week's new sets) with the Planetary Systems and Planetary Systems Composite Data tables.

The new ephemerides, consisting of orbital periods and mid-transit times, have been integrated into our Planetary Systems tables, System Overview pages, and the Transit and Ephemeris Service.

To view and work with the new WASP-96 b spectrum, check out the Atmospheric Spectroscopy Table.

Two New Planets and Multi-spectra Plotting

We've updated the Atmospheric Spectroscopy Table to enable users to overplot multiple spectra. Users may now plot spectra of the same planet taken with multiple instruments at the same time, or compare spectra of different planets to identify key similarities or differences. Try it out and let us know what you think!

We've also added two new planets, both of which are TOI confirmations of super-Earths around M dwarf stars: Wolf-327 b and TOI-2266 b. The new planet parameters can be accessed from their System Overview pages, the Planetary Systems Table, and the Planetary Systems Composite Data Table.

Finally, we have added a new parameter set for HIP 75056 A b, which sets its mass to > 30 M_J and above our mass cut-off. HIP 75056 A b parameters can still be seen in its System Overview page, but it no longer appears in the Planetary Systems tables and now has a status of False Positive Planet.

Quicker and Easier Exoplanet Data Plots

We've made it even easier to make scatter plots and histograms with Planetary Systems data, with a new built-in and interactive feature that generates plots ready for publication, presentation, and data exploration.

To access the feature:

  1. Go to the Planetary Systems (PS) or Planetary Systems Composite Data (PSCompPars) table.
  2. Filter the table to display only the data you want to plot. (If needed, consult the Interactive Table User Guide's Sorting and Filtering Data section.)
  3. Click the Plot Table button and then select Histogram Plot or Scatter Plot from the drop-down list. The plot will open in a new browser tab.

For more information, see the ExoPlots User Guide.

This new feature is currently in Beta release, so there may be brief performance issues while we work on improvements and additional features. Please let us know how it works for you (or doesn't) and if you encounter any issues through our Helpdesk.

Ringing in the New Year With Three Planets

Our first release for 2024 features HD 63433 d—the closest, young, Earth-sized planet discovered to date! According to the discovery paper, this planet is located ~22 parsecs from Earth and is the smallest confirmed planet with an age less than 500 Myr. Check out the archive's HD 63433 System Overview page and read the NASA media release for details.

Two additional planets added this week are OGLE-2019-BLG-1180L b and KMT-2021-BLG-1770L b. The planets have been added to the Planetary Systems Table and its companion table the Planetary Systems Composite Data Table, where you can view, filter, sort, and download data. Their data are also available in our Microlensing Planets table.
