The Exoplanet Handbook, Second Edition (2018): Appendixes
The following files are made available:
ExoplanetHandbook2-AppendixC-F-end2019.pdf
This version contains the four Appendixes C-F, with system and planet content updated to the end of 2019 (according to the NASA Exoplanet Archive, and corresponding to 4104 known exoplanets in total). The bibliography has been correspondingly updated for all systems.
ExoplanetHandbook2-AppendixC-F-end2018.pdf
This version contains the four Appendixes C-F, with system and planet content updated to the end of 2018 (according to the NASA Exoplanet Archive, and corresponding to 3869 known exoplanets in total). The bibliography has been correspondingly updated for all systems. Since this version has been superseded, it will be of little or no interest to most users.
ExoplanetHandbook2-AppendixC-F-end2017.pdf
This version contains the four Appendixes C-F, which together provide a compilation of the exoplanets discovered by the stated method (radial velocity, transits, lensing and imaging respectively), and largely following the content of the NASA Exoplanet Archive as of the end of 2017 (and corresponding to 3572 known exoplanets in total. Other discoveries, notably by timing methods and astrometry, are listed in the relevant chapters of the main text. This version corresponds to the published edition, viz. listing the known planets as of the end of 2017, and the main bibliography (according to the literature survey by the author) also as of the end of 2017. In order to maintain full congruence with the published edition, the References included in this pdf version correspond to the complete bibliography for the published edition (and not only to the content of the Appendixes). Since this version has been superseded, it will be of little or no interest to most users.
Hyperlinks:
These pdf versions are extensively hyperlinked as follows:
* host star names (bold) are hyperlinked to the relevant NASA Exoplanet Archive "Planet Host Overview" page
* citations are hyperlinked to the relevant page of the References
* each small triangular symbol following the citation is hyperlinked to the associated SAO/NASA ADS Abstract page
Exoplanets included:
Content corresponds essentially to that of the NASA Exoplanet Archive at the given dates. Some additional systems of note are also included. Primary identifiers correspond to those given in the NASA Exoplanet Archive.
Bibliography included:
The bibliography provides a concise overview and narrative of the currently perceived importance and scientific developments associated with each system. Ordering is by year, and then by first author.
Bibliographic entries are a result of my own literature survey, and claim no completeness: the CDS SIMBAD facility can be consulted for a more extensive bibliography for each system.
For the version updated to the end of 2018, and because of the many new references included, the reference keys are not (necessarily) congruent with those given in the published Second Edition.
Errors and omissions:
Notification of errors and significant omissions will be included in any further update.
