Gliese 581d
M-type red dwarf, a very common type of star in the Milky Way, potential for liquid water on the surface
TRAPPIST-1e
Ultra-cool dwarf star, very small and relatively cool star type, located in the habitable zone
WASP-17b
F-type main-sequence star, larger and slightly hotter than the Sun, the planet has a retrograde orbit
HD 189733 b
K-type main-sequence star, relatively close to Earth, known for its deep azure blue color due to silicate particles in its atmosphere
HD 209458 b
F-type main-sequence star, hotter and larger than the Sun, has an evaporating hydrogen atmosphere
Proxima Centauri b
M-type red dwarf, closest star to the Sun, may be in the habitable zone
HD 100546 b
B-type main-sequence star, young and massive hot star, possible protoplanet or forming planet within a circumstellar disk
Kepler-62f
K-type main-sequence star, cooler than the Sun, potentially habitable planet
GJ 436 b
M-type red dwarf, cooler than the Sun, the planet is a 'hot Neptune' with a noticeable comet-like tail
CoRoT-7b
K-type main-sequence star, cooler and smaller than the Sun, the planet is extremely hot and rocky
55 Cancri e
K-type main-sequence star, slightly smaller and cooler than the Sun, the planet may have a lava ocean
WASP-12b
G-type main-sequence star, similar to but larger than the Sun, the planet is very close to its host star
Beta Pictoris b
A-type main-sequence star, very young star system, directly imaged exoplanet
WASP-19b
G-type main-sequence star, similar to the Sun but more active, shortest orbital period known for any planet
51 Pegasi b
G-type main-sequence star, similar to the Sun, first hot Jupiter discovered
K2-288Bb
M-type red dwarf, cool and small, part of a binary star system, in the habitable zone
Kepler-16b
Binary star system consisting of a K-type and an M-type star, resembles the fictional planet Tatooine from 'Star Wars'
LHS 1140 b
M-dwarf star, one of the best places to look for signs of life due to its stable star and large planetary size
WASP-33b
A-type main-sequence star, much hotter than the Sun, the planet has a 'year' lasting less than 29 hours
KELT-9b
A-type main-sequence star, much hotter than the Sun, the planet has an ultra-short orbital period
Fomalhaut b
A-type main-sequence star, young and surrounded by a debris disk, potential exoplanet or dust cloud
K2-18b
M-type red dwarf, smaller and cooler than the Sun, has an atmosphere with water vapor
GJ 1214b
M-type red dwarf, smaller and cooler than the Sun, has a thick atmosphere likely composed of heavy molecules
Kepler-452b
G-type main-sequence star, similar to the Sun but older, orbits in the habitable zone
Kepler-442b
K-type main-sequence star, cooler than the Sun, located in the habitable zone
Kepler-10b
G-type main-sequence star, similar to the Sun, the first confirmed rocky planet Kepler found
Kepler-186f
M-dwarf star, cooler and smaller than the Sun, within the habitable zone
Kepler-22b
G-type main-sequence star, slightly smaller than the Sun, located in the habitable zone
Tau Ceti e
G-type main-sequence star, very similar to the Sun in terms of size and luminosity, potentially habitable
