HD 207832

Planetary system · 192.2 light-years away · also HD 207832, HIP 107985

HD 207832 is 192 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this G5 V star; the first was found in 2012 by radial velocity (W. M. Keck Observatory).

Worth knowing

HD 207832 c takes 3.2 years to go round its star once.

HD 207832 is one of 3 stars in its system. The position of the other 2 is not catalogued, so only HD 207832 and its planets are drawn.

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 5,726 K, 0.78 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 0.84 to 1.48 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.

The light you see left 192 years ago, around 1830.
