Exo-MerCat generates a catalog of known and candidate exoplanets, collecting and selecting the most precise measurement for all interesting planetary and orbital parameters contained in exoplanet databases. It retrieves a common name for the planet target, linking its host star name with the preferred identifier in the most well-known stellar databases, and accounts for the presence of multiple aliases for the same target. The code standardizes the output and notation differences and homogenizes the data in a VO-aware way. Exo-MerCat also provides a graphical user interface to filter data based on the user's constraints and generate automatic plots that are commonly used in the exoplanetary community.
