Abstract
The Habitable Zone Gallery is a new service to the exoplanet community that provides habitable-zone (HZ) information for each of the exoplanetary systems with known planetary orbital parameters. The service includes a sortable table with information on the percentage of orbital phase spent within the HZ, planetary effective temperatures, and other basic planetary properties. In addition to the table, we also plot the period and eccentricity of the planets with respect to their time spent in the HZ. The service includes a gallery of known systems that plot the orbits and the location of the HZ with respect to those orbits. Also provided are animations that aid in orbit visualization and provide the changing effective temperature for those planets in eccentric orbits. Here, we describe the science motivation, the underlying calculations, and the structure of the World Wide Web site.
