Add filters for exoplanets #1141

Open mattbaker298 opened 4 years ago

mattbaker298 commented 4 years ago

Great work and congratulations on 20 years of Stellarium!

I'm thinking of getting into photometric analysis of exoplanet transits using an amateur setup and was wondering if there could be a filter for the variables such as the orbital period, magnitude of host star, radius, detection type, etc.

This will really help when it comes to potential transits and when I can begin imaging the host star

Thanks,

Matt

Why not use specialized websites or databases, such http://exoplanet.eu?

@mattbaker298 I can add the table in the GUI of plugin to ability sort the data by various columns and selecting the host stars on the sky. Is it acceptable solution?

Please check the fresh version (development snapshot) of Stellarium: https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium-data/releases/tag/weekly-snapshot

Thank you so much for this!

Is it possible to do something where it filters multiple variables from a range between two values across other variables too.

eg. SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Radius BETWEEN 1 AND 1.8 AND Mag BETWEEN 8 AND 11;

You can download exoplanets as VOTable, CSV and DAT from exoplanet.eu. For example if you download CSV file, you can load it to spreadsheet and do filters there. And if you convert that to SQL, you can do SQL sentences with database.

And after Stellarium 23.3 you can import them as json, is you can modify them to json.
