A Public-Facing Habitable Exoplanet Catalog and an Interactive Night-Sky Visualization
To the point
Gillis Lowry and Lisa Kaltenegger describe a public, all-sky catalog of habitable-zone planets from over 5500 confirmed worlds, detailing HZ boundaries, orbital data, and follow-up prospects, evaluating rocky-planet habitability from stellar irradiation, size, and motion using NASA Exoplanet Archive and Gaia DR3, accounting for measurement uncertainties and their effect on HZ counts, providing stellar ages to show the age distribution, and previewing a public ArcGIS/Python visualization of habitable exoplanets across the night sky to be released on the Carl Sagan Institute site under CC BY 4.0, presented as Presentation #426.04 in the AAS245 Astrobiology session.
