Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia
astronomical database
The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia[1][2][3][4][5] is an astronomy website, founded in Paris, France at the Meudon Observatory in 1995. It has a database of all the known and candidate extrasolar planets.

The main catalogue has databases of all of the known extrasolar planets and a database of unconfirmed planet detections. The databases are updated with new data from peer-reviewed publications and conferences.
As of June 2011, the catalog includes objects up to 25 Jupiter masses,[6] an increase on the previous inclusion criteria of 20 Jupiter masses.[7] As of 2016 this limit was increased to 60 Jupiter masses[8] based on a study of mass–density relationships.[9]
