Catalog of Nearby Exoplanets
Open accessAbstract
We present a catalog of nearby exoplanets. It contains the 172 known low-mass companions with orbits established through radial velocity and transit measurements around stars within 200 pc. We include five previously unpublished exoplanets orbiting the stars HD 11964, HD 66428, HD 99109, HD 107148, and HD 164922. We update orbits for 83 additional exoplanets, including many whose orbits have not been revised since their announcement, and include radial velocity time series from the Lick, Keck, and Anglo-Australian Observatory planet searches. Both these new and previously published velocities are more precise here due to improvements in our data reduction pipeline, which we applied to archival spectra. We present a brief summary of the global properties of the known exoplanets, including their distributions of orbital semimajor axis, minimum mass, and orbital eccentricity.

Jupiter-mass and Neptune-mass exoplanets have been found closer to their host than Mercury is to the Sun.
“However, Jupiter-mass and Neptune-mass exoplanets have been found closer to their host than Mercury is to the Sun (Butler et al., 2006; Borucki et al., 2010), so planetary migration through the disk has been suggested to explain how these hot giant planets moved from their birth locations to their current locations (see below).”

“…stars are bright enough to permit precise photometric and chromospheric monitoring by telescopes of modest size, permitting careful assessment of velocity jitter, starspots, and possible transits, e.g., Henry (1999); Henry et al. (2000); Queloz et al. (2001); Eaton, Henry, & Fekel (2003).”

“Other characteristics of the host star can be inferred: life stage or age, mass, radius, effective surface temperature, metallicity (described by the iron-to-hydrogen ratio, which indicates the relative abundance of heavier elements to lighter ones), and distance from the Sun.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
