Abstract

There is an opportunity to advance solar system and extrasolar planetary studies that does not require new telescopes or new missions but better use and access to data sets. This approach leverages significant investment from space agencies in exploring the solar system and using those discoveries for the study of extrasolar planets.

Highlights

  • There is an opportunity to advance both Solar System and extrasolar planetary studies that does not require the construction of new telescopes or new missions but better use and access to interdisciplinary data sets

  • The combination of Solar System and extrasolar planetary data sets already have enabled investigation of specific questions regarding the relation between the Solar System and extrasolar planetary systems

  • Data for extrasolar planets are often contained in archives from ground-based telescopes funded by the NSF or in NASA’s Astrophysics Archives whereas data from Solar System planetary missions are stored in the Planetary Data System (PDS)

Summary

Introduction

There is an opportunity to advance both Solar System and extrasolar planetary studies that does not require the construction of new telescopes or new missions but better use and access to interdisciplinary data sets. Data for extrasolar planets are often contained in archives from ground-based telescopes funded by the NSF or in NASA’s Astrophysics Archives whereas data from Solar System planetary missions are stored in the PDS. The Key Advance section summarizes the opportunities and potential means for more integrated data access and discovery within NASA, focusing on Planetary Science and Astrophysics.
