ExoFOP

Welcome to ExoFOP

The Exoplanet Follow-up Observing Program (ExoFOP) website is designed to optimize resources and facilitate collaboration in follow-up studies of exoplanet candidates. ExoFOP serves as a repository for project and community-gathered data by allowing upload and display of data and derived astrophysical parameters.

October 14, 2024 The Ariel Science Consortium has requested participation from the US community as part of the ongoing preparatory science work being undertaken by the consortium. There are three main target lists that are potentially suitable for Ariel observations: TESS candidates that need confirmation; known exoplanets that need more precise mass determinations; known exoplanet host stars that need more precise characterization of the stars themselves.

An Announcement of Opportunity has been posted by NASA within ROSES with details on the solicitation, expectations and requirements of the program, and appropriate due dates for proposals.
October 17, 2024 The SG1 TFOP working group has designated that the SG1B priority column is the only column that needs to be referenced for SG1 priority and the SG1A priority column is no longer updated nor shown by default in the CTOI table, TOI table, and target overviews. This SG1A priority column is still visible for downloads for historic reference and available if selected in table preferences for the CTOI or TOI tables and the JSON export of the target overview.
April 16, 2024 Many of the large tables on ExoFOP can now be customized using Table Preferences.
