HD 48948 is an orange K-type dwarf (about 0.69 solar masses, 4,593 K, 0.68 solar radii), 16.9 light-years from Earth. HD 48948 b is a 4.9-Earth-mass planet, with an orbital period of 7.3 days, at 0.065 AU from its star, and an equilibrium temperature near 957 K, on an eccentric orbit (e ≈ 0.06), discovered in 2024 via radial velocity. HD 48948 c is a 7.3-Earth-mass planet, with an orbital period of 38.1 days, at 0.195 AU from its star, and an equilibrium temperature near 553 K, on an eccentric orbit (e ≈ 0.55), discovered in 2024 via radial velocity.
