Kepler Confirmed Planets: NASA Exoplanet Catalog

NASA's list of currently confirmed exoplanets discovered by the Kepler space telescope. The data is compiled by the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute (NExScI) at Caltech. It was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Train models to predict exoplanet properties based on confirmed discoveries.
• Analyze the distribution of confirmed exoplanets by orbital period or size.
• Validate new exoplanet detection algorithms against a known catalog.
• Study the demographics of planetary systems discovered by the Kepler mission.

Strengths

• Data is compiled by the authoritative NASA Exoplanet Science Institute (NExScI).
• Focuses specifically on confirmed exoplanets, a high-confidence subset.
• Last updated on March 13, 2026, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect observational bias inherent to the Kepler mission's field of view.
