Encyclopaedia of exoplanetary systems
This encyclopaedia provides the latest detections and data announced by professional astronomers on exoplanetary systems. It contains objects lighter than 60 masses of Jupiter, which orbit stars or are free-floating. It also provides a database on exoplanets in binary systems, a database on circumstellar disks, an exhaustive bibliography, a list of exoplanet-related meetings, and links to other resources on the subject.
Established in February 1995 Developed and maintained by the exoplanet TEAM
Last update: currently 7778 planets.

The exoplanet.eu portal has just added a new multilingual section dedicated to educational purposes, which can be accessed at scholar.exoplanet.eu. The general public can access a wealth of educational content, and teachers can receive training and access a wide range of activities to do in class with their pupils. New, user-friendly tools are available to view results on planetary systems in a more educational manner. The content has been developed by Exo4Edu, an Erasmus-funded project.
We have just published a paper (available on arxiv) presenting and statistically analyzing our planet-hosting binaries database
We've just changed what is displayed by default on the catalogue page to make it clearer what objects the database includes. We now display exoplanets <13 Mjup by default and you need to click on ‘filter preset’ to display the entire catalogue, including objects up to 60 Mjup, or make another selection of your choice. Don't hesitate to suggest presets if you think some are important and missing.
Our planets-in-binaries database has been updated again: It is now complete for all separations and includes all known planet-hosting binaries (723 systems and counting). The complete database can be accessed in a machine-readable file.
The planets-in-binaries database is now complete for binaries of separations up to 2000au (instead of 500au before that), increasing the database from 330 to 544 systems.
