The HD 20794 system contains 4 exoplanets. It is located 19.58 light years away from the solar system.
Mass | 0.7 solar masses |
Radius | 0.92 solar radiae |
Temperature | 5401 kelvin |
Stellar Metallicity | -0.4 decimal exponent |
Age | 5.76 billion years |
At 2.703 Earth masses, HD 20794 b is a so called Super Earth. Super Earths could be terrestrial worlds like Earth, but they could also be ocean worlds or terrestrial worlds wrapped in a substantial atmosphere, in which case some refer to them as Mini Neptunes.
