TOI-6034

Planetary system · 384.8 light-years away

TOI-6034 is 385 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 1 planet around this 3,635 K star; the first was found in 2024 by transit (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)).

Worth knowing

TOI-6034 b goes round its star every 2.58 days, 34 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.

TOI-6034 is one of 2 stars in its system. The position of the other star is not catalogued, so only TOI-6034 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 3,635 K, 0.040 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 0.21 to 0.40 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 385 years ago, around 1640.
