Homogeneous studies of transiting planets: an online catalogue

Earth and Planetary Astrophysics 2011-08-16 v1

Abstract

The derived physical properties of the known transiting extrasolar planetary systems come from a variety of sources, and are calculated using a range of different methods so are not always directly comparable. I present a catalogue of the physical properties of 58 transiting extrasolar planet and brown dwarf systems which have been measured using homogeneous methods, resulting in quantities which are internally consistent and well-suited to detailed statistical study. The main results for each object, plus a critical compilation of literature values for all known systems, have been placed in an online catalogue. TEPCat can be found at: http://www.astro.keele.ac.uk/~jkt/tepcat/
