Aldebaran c
Aldebaran c

  • Aldebaran c is an exoplanet orbiting the star Aldebaran, located about 66.6 light-years (20.4 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2019.
  • The host star Aldebaran has apparent magnitude of 0.8, with absolute magnitude of -0.7.
  • It is 1.1 times more massive and 45.1 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 4055 with its spectral types of K5III
  • In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet Aldebaran c orbits around the star Aldebaran every 772.8 days with its orbital distance of 1.72 AU ( 256811258.1 km)
