HR 8799
(star with four directly-imaged exoplanets)
HR 8799 is a young main sequence star with
a debris disk and four giant extra-solar planets.
It is one of the first systems in which the exoplanets
were discovered (or confirmed) by direct imaging and the clearest
view of so much of a planetary system.
Characteristics:
planet | dist. to star | radius | mass | temperature |
HR 8799 b | 71.6 AU | 1.2 RJ | 5.7 MJ | 870 K |
HR 8799 c | 41.39 AU | 1.2 RJ | 7.8 MJ | 1090 K |
HR 8799 d | 26.67 AU | 1.2 RJ | 9.1 MJ | 1090 K |
HR 8799 e | 16.25 AU | 1.17 RJ | 7.4 MJ | 1000 K |
(RJ and MJ are Jupiter's radius and mass
and the temperatures are determined effective temperatures.)
