The HD 39194 system contains 3 exoplanets. It is located 86.15 light years away from the solar system.
Mass | 0.67 solar masses |
Radius | 0.78 solar radiae |
Temperature | 5205 kelvin |
Stellar Metallicity | -0.61 decimal exponent |
Age | 10 billion years |
At 4.004 Earth masses, HD 39194 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.
