Telescope Reviews: NASA Star and Exoplanet Database (NStED) from AAS

An email announcement from the AAS read:

"The Michelson Science Center (MSC) and the Infrared Processing & Analysis Center (IPAC) announce the latest version of the NASA Star and Exoplanet Database (NStED). NStED is a general purpose stellar and exoplanet archive to support NASA's planet finding and characterization activities. 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.

This version significantly augments the previous stellar and exoplanet content, allowing detailed searches on 70+ parameters for over 140,000 bright, nearby stars, including all known exoplanet hosting stars. NStED also features a dedicated interface for transit survey data sets, including TrES observations of the Kepler field.

The NStED Service is available at http://nsted.ipac.caltech.edu/ and contains:

Data related to 140,000 bright nearby stars
All known planet-hosting stars
Query for individual stars or by stellar/planetary parameters
* Images and spectra
* Data related to known exoplanets
* Time series photometric data on known transiting exoplanets
* Radial velocity data of exoplanet hosting stars
* Dedicated interface related to exo-planet transit surveys"
