Worth knowing

HD 190360 c goes round its star every 17.1 days, 5 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.

HD 190360 is one of 2 stars in its system: the other is drawn where the Washington Double Star Catalog measures it on the sky.

The other star

HD 190360 B is a M5 star of magnitude 14.8, judged a true companion. In 2016 it was 178.1″ from HD 190360, at position angle 232° (Washington Double Star Catalog, 20036+2954 LDS6339 AB): 2,851 AU on the sky at this distance. The true distance can only be larger.

Values are the NASA Exoplanet Archive’s composite parameters. A radius marked estimated comes from a mass–radius relation; a mass marked minimum is M sin i. Planet sizes and colours in the 3D view are renderings: none of these worlds has been photographed as more than a point of light.

The planets, compared

For a star of 5,560 K, 1.2 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 1.04 to 1.84 AU. None of its known planets orbits inside it. The zone says how much starlight arrives, not whether a planet has water or air. The edges follow Kopparapu et al. (2014), as the 3D view draws them.
