Abstract
Introduction. Exoplanets in the habitable zone are particularly valuable objects for research. They provide a more detailed understanding of the conditions for the emergence of life and with it an understanding of whether life could exist on Mars or other objects in the solar system.
Methods. Based on information from the open database https://exoplanet.eu, with the help of specially developed software in the Python programming language, a sample was made from all confirmed exoplanets, as well as from all candidates for exoplanets.
Results. An analysis of the minimum conditions for the appearance of life, its existence, and further development to complex and even intelligent forms has been carried out. It was established that for life to exist, the central star must belong to the spectral class G, K, or M.
Conclusions. As a result of the selection, we selected 5 exoplanets. Selected exoplanets deserve a more detailed study using modern telescopes and new space missions (JWST and others) to analyze their atmospheres.
Key words
Еxoplanets, orbital elements, habitable zone, Python, terrestrial planets.
