nasa exoplanet catalog
hello i have just added external link please check it on 43.255.221.138 (talk) 11:17, 26 April 2023 (UTC)


 * That uses data from the NASA Exoplanet Archive, which is already linked. SevenSpheres (talk) 16:21, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Question about which list to put exoplanets in.
So, for conflicting sources. I'm looking at the 2020 list. HAT-P-58b through HAT-P 64b. The linked paper is a draft version dated July 14, 2020:2007.05528.pdf (arxiv.org). The nasa.gov exoplanets website lists the date discovered as 2021: Exoplanet-catalog – Exoplanet Exploration: Planets Beyond our Solar System HAT-P-58 b (nasa.gov), which is referencing the same paper's published date of July 2021: HAT-P-58b-HAT-P-64b: Seven Planets Transiting Bright Stars - NASA/ADS (harvard.edu) in The Astronomical Journal, Volume 162, id.7, 31pp. My question is, before I move things between the lists: which is the correct discovery date? 2020 (draft) or 2021 (published)?

 * We shouldn't be using preprints anyway, and I believe the convention is to use the published date. It might not be the most "correct" value, but it's also very likely that a planet could be discovered multiple years before even the preprint is posted, so we might as well be consistent.

 * That's what I was thinking, thanks Primefac! Kilawyn Punx (talk) 17:32, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

2024
It looks like we finally have the real first exoplanets of 2024, from one of those batch microlensing papers (unless you count preprints from last year published this year - and this is a preprint too for now). List of exoplanets discovered in 2024 already exists as a redirect to this article, and there's also a Draft:List of exoplanets discovered in 2024, so that will have to be worked out.

 * Here's another one that's accepted for publication. I see the list has been created now. SevenSpheres (talk) 02:14, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
