An artist's rendition of Kepler-62f, a potentially habitable exoplanet discovered using data transmitted by the Kepler space telescope. The list of exoplanets detected by the Kepler space telescope contains bodies with a wide variety of properties, with significant ranges in orbital distances, masses, radii, composition, habitability, and host star type.
Kepler data have also helped scientists observe and understand supernovae; measurements were collected every half-hour so the light curves were especially useful for studying these types of astronomical events. [44] On October 30, 2018, after the spacecraft ran out of fuel, NASA announced that the telescope would be retired. [45]
The archive also develops Web-based tools and services to work with the data, particularly the display and analysis of transit data sets from the Kepler mission and COnvection ROtation and planetary Transits (CoRoT) mission, for which the Exoplanet Archive is the U.S. data portal.
All data are validated by the NStED science staff and traced to their sources. NStED is the U.S. data portal for the CoRoT mission. As of June 2007, the database catalogued 140,230 stars, [1] but by December 2011, SDtED was no longer in operation. Most data and services have been transferred to the NASA Exoplanet Archive.
The planet was found using data from the NASA Kepler Space Telescope, K2, and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.K2-415b was discovered in February 2023. [2]K2-415b is approximately 1.015 times the radius of Earth and is less than 7.5 times the mass of Earth.
K2-33b (also known by its EPIC designation EPIC 205117205.01) is a very young super-Neptune exoplanet, orbiting the pre-main-sequence star K2-33.It was discovered by NASA's Kepler space telescope on its "Second Light" mission.
Kepler-1649c is an Earth-sized exoplanet, likely rocky, orbiting within the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Kepler-1649, the outermost planet of the planetary system discovered by Kepler’s space telescope. It is located about 301 light-years (92 pc) away from Earth, in the constellation of Cygnus. [3]
Its discovery is based on data from the K2 mission of NASA's Kepler spacecraft. [5] The exoplanet has also been observed from ground-based telescopes including the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) in La Palma and the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii. [5] Its characteristics were confirmed using speckle imaging and high-dispersion optical spectroscopy. [3]
