The Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST) is an astronomical data archive. The archive brings together data from the visible , ultraviolet , and near-infrared wavelength regimes. The NASA funded project is located at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland and is one of the largest astronomical databases in ...
The Kepler space telescope is a defunct space telescope launched by NASA in 2009 [5] to discover Earth-sized planets orbiting other stars. [6] [7] Named after astronomer Johannes Kepler, [8] the spacecraft was launched into an Earth-trailing heliocentric orbit.
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.
The Kepler Input Catalog (or KIC) is a publicly searchable database of roughly 13.2 million targets used for the Kepler Spectral Classification Program (SCP) and the Kepler space telescope. [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
Kepler is a free software system for designing, executing, reusing, evolving, archiving, and sharing scientific workflows. [2] [3] [4] Kepler's facilities provide process and data monitoring, provenance information, and high-speed data movement.
Planet Hunters is a citizen science project to find exoplanets using human eyes. It does this by having users analyze data from the NASA Kepler space telescope and the NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.
The Ecliptic Plane Input Catalog (or EPIC) is a publicly searchable database of stars and planets that is associated with the K2 "Second Light" plan of the Kepler space telescope mission. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Examples of related stars include: EPIC 201563164 , EPIC 204278916 , EPIC 204376071 and EPIC 249706694 .
Kepler-80d and Kepler-80e were validated in 2014 based on statistical analysis of the Kepler data. [11] [12] Finally the innermost planet, Kepler-80f was confirmed in 2016. [12] All six known planets in the Kepler-80 system orbit very close to the star, and their distances to the star (the semi-major axes are all smaller than
