There has been no update to CW Allen's Astrophysical Quantities since Cox's 1999 edition, which is the most recent version available. The discussion highlights the need for a reference text that includes updated astrophysical and cosmological data, particularly regarding confirmed exoplanets, which were not documented in the 1999 edition. Participants express a desire for more current statistical data in astronomy and astrophysics. The search for a more recent edition that encompasses these advancements remains ongoing. Access to updated information on exoplanets is crucial for current research in the field.

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.

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
