SUMMARY

The latest edition of CW Allen's Astrophysical Quantities is Cox's 1999 update, which lacks recent data on confirmed exoplanets. There is a clear demand for a more current reference text that includes updated astrophysical and cosmological data. Users are specifically seeking statistical information on the thousands of confirmed exoplanets that have been discovered since 1999. The absence of a newer edition highlights a gap in available resources for contemporary astronomical research.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of astrophysical and cosmological terminology
  • Familiarity with exoplanet discovery methods and statistics
  • Knowledge of reference texts in astronomy
  • Awareness of the historical context of CW Allen's Astrophysical Quantities
NEXT STEPS
  • Research recent publications on exoplanet statistics and discoveries
  • Explore updated reference texts in astronomy and astrophysics
  • Investigate online databases for astrophysical data
  • Look into community forums for recommendations on current astrophysical resources
USEFUL FOR

Astronomy students, astrophysicists, researchers in cosmology, and anyone seeking updated information on exoplanets and astrophysical data.

I'm looking for a reference text for astronomy and astrophysics that provides astrophysical and cosmological data since Cox's 1999 update to CW Allen's Astrophysical Quantities. Among other reasons, I'm hoping for statistical data on confirmed exoplanets, which did not exist in 1999.

The most recent edition I've found is Cox's 1999 update to CW Allen's Astrophysical Quantities. I'd like to find, and to buy, a more recent edition that contains, among other things, information on the several thousand confirmed exoplanets.
