From the homepage:

The Exoplanet Data Explorer is an interactive table and plotter for exploring and displaying data from the Exoplanet Orbit Database. The Exoplanet Orbit Database is a carefully constructed compilation of quality, spectroscopic orbital parameters of exoplanets orbiting normal stars from the peer-reviewed literature, and updates the Catalog of nearby exoplanets.

A detailed description of the Exoplanet Orbit Database and Explorers is published here and is available on astro-ph.

In addition to the Exoplanet Data Explorer, we have also provided the entire Exoplanet Orbit Database in CSV format for a quick and convenient download here. A list of all archived CSVs is available here.

Help and documentation for the Exoplanet Data Explorer is available here. A FAQ and overview of our methodology is here, including answers to the questions “Why isn’t my favorite planet/datum in the EOD?” and “Why does site X list more planets than this one?”.

A small data set but an important one none the less.

I would point out that the term “here” occurs five (5) times with completely different meanings.

It’s a small thing but had:

Help and documentation for the Exoplanet Data Explorer is available <a href=”http://exoplanets.org/help/common/data”>here</a>

been:

<a href=”http://exoplanets.org/help/common/data”>Exoplanet Data Explorer help and documentation</a>

Even a not very bright search engine might do a better search of the page.

Please avoid labeling links with “here.”
