nearby_rv_exoplanets

LatestRVmeasurements.csv defines astrophysically measured quantities of nearby RV exoplanets of interest to WFIRST.

LatestRVmeasurements.csv.header defines the units of each column in ecsv format.

This list was originally compiled by Nikole Lewis (STScI) for the WFIRST CGI SITs.

For ease of viewing on github the ecsv header and the raw table are stored as separate files.

Use this snippet to load as an astropy table with units:

from astropy.table import Table
latest_params_fname = "RV_targets/LatestRVmeasurements.csv"
ecsv=open(latest_params_fname+".header").readlines()+open(latest_params_fname).readlines()
Table.read(ecsv,format="ascii.ecsv")
