A new catalogue of extrasolar planets is presented by re-analysing a
selection of published radial velocity data sets using EXOFIT (Balan & Lahav
2009). All objects are treated on an equal footing within a Bayesian framework,
to give orbital parameters for 94 exoplanetary systems. Model selection
(between one- and two-planet solutions) is then performed, using both a visual
flagging method and a standard chi-square analysis, with agreement between the
two methods for 99% of the systems considered. The catalogue is to be made
available online, and this 'proof of concept' study may be maintained and
extended in the future to incorporate all systems with publicly available
radial velocity data, as well as transit and microlensing data.
