# Exoplanet Orbit Database (`astroquery.exoplanet_orbit_database`)

## Accessing the planet table

You can access the complete tables from each table source, with units assigned to columns wherever possible.

    >>> from astroquery.exoplanet_orbit_database import ExoplanetOrbitDatabase
    >>> eod_table = ExoplanetOrbitDatabase.get_table()
    >>> eod_table[:2]
    <QTable length=2>
        A        AUPPER   ... NAME_LOWERCASE              sky_coord
        AU         AU     ...                              deg,deg
     float64    float64   ...     str19                    SkyCoord
    --------- ----------- ... -------------- -----------------------------------
    0.0780099  0.00130017 ...    kepler-107d 297.0282083332539,48.20861111111111
    0.0344721 0.000675924 ...   kepler-1049b  287.3467499971389,47.7729444445504

You can query for the row from each table corresponding to one exoplanet:

    >>> from astroquery.exoplanet_orbit_database import ExoplanetOrbitDatabase
    >>> hatp11b = ExoplanetOrbitDatabase.query_planet('HAT-P-11 b')

## Properties of a particular planet

The properties of each planet are stored in a table, with columns defined by the Exoplanet Orbit Database. There is also a special column of sky coordinates for each target, named `sky_coord`.

    >>> from astroquery.exoplanet_orbit_database import ExoplanetOrbitDatabase
    >>> hatp11b = ExoplanetOrbitDatabase.query_planet('HAT-P-11 b')
    >>> hatp11b['PER']  # Planet period
    <MaskedQuantity 4.8878162 d>
    >>> hatp11b['R']  # Planet radius
    <MaskedQuantity 0.422 jupiterRad>
    >>> hatp11b['sky_coord'] # Position of host star
    <SkyCoord (ICRS): (ra, dec) in deg
        (297.70890417, 48.08029444)>
