Description of the Database

NStED offers a powerful query and download engine to search for data on individual stars or to search for groups of stars by stellar and exoplanet parameters. All data in NStED are vetted by a team of astronomers and are directly linked to the original literature references.

NStED supports interactive visualization of catalog query results, images, spectra, and time series data, and on-the-fly calculation of stellar parameters. NStED maintains its own stellar cross-identification to minimize ambiguity in multiple star components.

NStED has a dedicated interface for transit survey data sets. NStED is the US portal to the public CoRoT mission data for both the Exoplanet and Asteroseismology datasets. NStED also serves ground-based transit survey data including the TrES observations of the Kepler field and KELT observations of the Praesepe field.

Stars in NStED

• Core group : Hipparcos catalog, WDS components, Gliese catalog
• Exo-planet host stars not in Core Group added individually
• Stars in Transit survey programs
