TOI-544

Planetary system · 134.1 light-years away · also HD 290498, TYC 4753-415-1

TOI-544 is 134 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this 4,169 K star; the first was found in 2022 by transit (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)).

Worth knowing

TOI-544 b goes round its star every 37.2 hours, 57 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 4,169 K, 0.13 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 0.36 to 0.68 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 134 years ago, around 1890.
