NASA Exoplanet Archive?

  • LambdaMaster by LambdaMaster

    I recently found the NASA Exoplanet Archive and I was curious if anybody was familiar with how to use it.
    The method for obtaining the data necessary to perform a search in this website: Barbara A. Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes doesn't seem to work very well. In fact, I'm also curious how I could possible just dump all the necessary star data so I can get an accurate search if possible.

    I assume you mean this link - http://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/.

    Don't the Help guides help you? It is probably a bit of a learning curve,

    Probably the Python computer language could help you.

    @johnfairweather is right, reading and experimenting will likely get you what you seek. And python is a great help for working with Kepler data, as well.

    There are also API links to access the Kepler data directly which you should be able to find if you look for this documentation. But post again if not and we will help you.
