The SIMPLE Archive: A collaboratively-curated database and website of low mass stars, brown dwarfs, and exoplanets
Abstract
We present the SIMPLE Archive of low mass stars, brown dwarfs, and directly-imaged exoplanets. The SIMPLE Archive currently contains the astrometry, photometry, and spectra for over 3,000 sources. The goal of SIMPLE is to develop a community-driven archive where many individuals can collaboratively contribute to the knowledge base of these objects using a Github workflow. SIMPLE can be searched via a website, https://simple-bd-archive.org/, or be downloaded and interacted with as a database. We welcome more contributors to join us as we build and populate this community tool. The SIMPLE Archive is actively being developed on GitHub at https://github.com/SIMPLE-AstroDB/SIMPLE-db. We are also building in parallel a generic, template version of this tool to be used for other types of astronomical objects: https://github.com/astrodbtoolkit/astrotemplate-db.
