A Catalog of Habitable Zone Exoplanets

Abstract The search for habitable planets has revealed many that can vary greatly from an Earth analog environment. These include highly eccentric orbits, giant planets, different bulk densities, relatively active stars, and evolved stars. This work catalogs all found to reside in the zone (HZ) provides HZ boundaries, orbit characterization, potential spectroscopic follow-up observations. Demographics of are compared with a full catalog exoplanets. Extreme within highlighted, how their unique properties may affect habitability is discussed.
