Kepler mission reports their new haul

Kepler mission reports their new haul: "Of the nearly 5,000 total planet candidates found to date, more than 3,200 now have been verified, and 2,325 of these were discovered by Kepler."

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)[reply]

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

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)? Kilawyn Punx (talk) 15:03, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
