TOI-4329

Planetary system · 2339.0 light-years away

TOI-4329 is 2,339 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 1 planet around this 6,000 K star; the first was found in 2022 by transit (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)).

Worth knowing

TOI-4329 b goes round its star every 2.92 days, 30 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.

Where the archive gives only a period or only an orbit size, the other is worked out from Kepler’s third law with the star’s mass.

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 6,000 K, 6.3 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 2.35 to 4.13 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 2,339 years ago, around 300 BC.
