Go to the NStED archive

    The NASA/IPAC/MSC Star Archive and Exoplanet Database (NStED) is a general purpose stellar and exoplanet archive to support NASA's planet finding and characterization activities.

    NStED offers a powerful query and download engine to search for data on individual stars or to search for groups of stars by stellar and exoplanet parameters. All data in NStED are vetted by a team of astronomers and are directly linked to the original literature references.  NStED supports interactive visualization of catalog query results, images, spectra, and time series data, and on-the-fly calculation of stellar parameters. NStED maintains its own stellar cross-identification to minimize ambiguity in multiple star components.

    NStED has a dedicated interface for transit survey data sets, including TrES observations of the Kepler field.

The NStED Service contains:

• Data related to 140,000 bright nearby stars
• All known planet-hosting stars
• Query for individual stars or by stellar/planetary parameters
• Images and spectra
• Data related to known exoplanets
• Time series photometric data on known transiting exoplanets
• Radial velocity data of exoplanet hosting stars
• Dedicated interface related to exo-planet transit surveys
  

    NStED is a collaboration between the NStED group, IRSA, IPAC and the MSC.
