HD 238090 b

HD 238090 b orbits HD 238090 once every 13.671 days. The system is about 49.6912 light-years from Earth.

The recorded orbit

The selected archive solution gives an orbital period of 13.671 days, or 0.0374292 Earth years. Its reported semimajor axis is 0.0932 AU. That orbital scale is 0.240766 times Mercury's semimajor axis. The listed eccentricity is 0.3. Using those central values, the model's nearest and farthest star–planet distances are about 0.06524 and 0.12116 AU. These are derived comparisons, without propagated errors. The period measures a year on this planet. It does not establish the length of its rotation or the duration of daylight.

Read how orbital period, size, and eccentricity fit together.

Size and mass

No planetary radius is supplied in this selected solution. The profile leaves that gap visible rather than estimating a size from the mass. The mass parameter is 6.89 (+0.92 / −0.95) Earth masses. Its archive provenance is Msini. Read this provenance before comparing it with a true mass: an inclination-dependent minimum or another mass definition must keep its qualification.

The host star and received light

The host is cataloged as HD 238090. The selected row gives spectral type M0.0 V. Its reported effective temperature is 3933 K. Its reported radius is 0.57 solar radii. Its reported mass is 0.578 solar masses. The planet's incident-flux parameter is 8.1 (+0.16 / −0.18) times Earth's received stellar flux. The equilibrium-temperature entry is 469.6 (+2.3 / −2.6) K. This is a model quantity, not a measured surface temperature. The available stellar and orbital entries do not establish a breathable atmosphere, surface water, or life.
