Hi

I have some questions about two extrasolar system (maybe more).

The first is why none of the planets of GJ 676 A are considered as confirmed by EPE?

The second is about Gl 163. For some websites there is a super earth in the habitable zone (HEC for example) and for other websits there is only gas giants on different orbits. Sadly I cant find any paper about this system. Can you help me?

The EPE seems to have completely missed the GJ 676A paper. I believe it came out when the EPE was inactive due to their maintenance.
I never saw a GJ 163 paper. Just a news article on a university site or something like that.

But the GJ 676A system appear in the controversial catalog. It's strange.

Gliese 163 hasn't had a (dedicated) paper yet, like a lot of HARPS detections - just an announcement. Still, looking at the EPE it appears that the masses are off by a decimal point (i.e: 0.354 MJup is approximately Saturn-mass, but 0.0354 MJup is 11 MEarth; 0.226 MJup -> 0.0226 MJup = 7 MEarth. This also happened to HD 77338 b in the EPE). The period for b also seems to be wrong, as the period from HARPS archive data is 8.63 days rather than 0.63 days (the semimajor axis seems correct, though). The period for c is confirmable, though there is a necessary additional periodicity of 555 days (though I believe a "possible outer planet" was mentioned on the HEC article on the discovery? Keep that tentative for now).

Sirius is probably right for Gliese 676 A. Not sure why Ab is listed as unconfirmed though, seeing as HIP 12961 b is listed as confirmed and they're from the same announcement and paper. The four planets found by Anglada-Escudé and Tuomi are confirmable, though the period for Ac is not really constrained because no maximum has been observed.

IIRC GJ 676 Ab was in the EPE's confirmed list until the 4-planet system paper appeared on arXiv.

Well I personally don't follow EPE anymore, since that update the webpage turn in a mess with loads of missing planets and other things like lost and/or wrong data

So what is your favorite exoplanet catalog? The Open one?

The Exoplanet Data Explorer is pretty good, especially in terms of the maturity of its user interface. Updates are fairly infrequent though.

What are the other planets missing in EPE?

Well, EPE just promoted GJ 676A b to confirmed candidates.

Not sure GJ 676 Ac is quite at the "confirmed" stage anyway.

IMO the decision to assign "d" and "e" to the inner planets leaves things open for a Mu Arae-style renaming once object "c" completes an orbit.

I see. I think naming planets in order from innermost to outermost would be more practical (b, c, d...) than by discovery date, as for some Kepler planet candidates.

Nice to see some updates at EPE, though there are still 20 or so planets left to add.
