Help with telescope/observatory data and images

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the search for telescope data and images of exoplanets, specifically focusing on methods of detection such as radial velocity, transit, and direct imaging. Participants are seeking guidance on where to find this data, whether in online databases or personal collections.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a desire to obtain telescope data and images of exoplanets, mentioning the need for raw data from various detection methods.
  • Another participant questions the availability and functionality of existing exoplanet databases online.
  • A later reply suggests a specific site that offers tutorials and data for planets discovered by the transit method.
  • One participant acknowledges the usefulness of the suggested site, indicating satisfaction with the information provided.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not reach a consensus on the availability of exoplanet data, as one participant questions the existing databases while others provide suggestions without resolving the initial inquiry.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not specified the limitations of the databases or the types of data they are seeking, nor have they clarified the criteria for what constitutes "easy navigation" in online databases.

I was wondering if anyone would help me get my hands on some telescope data and images of exoplanets. I know they must exist somewhere in databases on the internet, but I haven't been able to find them myself. It would be great if one of you could show me where I could get them or even if you just happen to have the data stored on your hard drive or something and you were able to share it with me that would also be great. I'm looking for examples of data for the following methods of detecting exoplanets:

Radial velocity
transit
direct imaging

Just the raw data, if you can. It doesn't matter for what exoplanet or what telescope or observatory. Or if you could point me to an online database that's relatively easy navigate. Thanks so much!

Is there something wrong with all of the fine Exoplanet databases currently online?

Try this site. It has tutorials where you can walk through data of planets discovered by the transit method.
