Exoplanets in Star Clusters
ABSTRACT The field of exoplanetary research is rapidly evolving, thanks to TESS and Kepler/K2. Gaia , with the newest data release Gaia DR3, which has transformed the study of star clusters. By combining the known properties of exoplanets with those of the star clusters in which they are found, it is possible to study the planets in greater detail and test theories of planetary evolution. We aim to create a catalogue of Gaia IDs for known exoplanets and use it to link the planets to a catalogue of star clusters. We utilised the NASA Exoplanet Archive and the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia to compile a catalogue of known exoplanets. We then cross‐matched the data with sources in Gaia DR3 to obtain the Gaia IDs of the exoplanets. Using this information, we inferred the potential association of these exoplanets with star clusters. We described the statistical properties of these exoplanets. We compiled a catalogue of Gaia IDs for known exoplanets and identified those associated with star clusters. This resource facilitates detailed studies of exoplanet properties and their evolutionary contexts within stellar clusters.
