FW Tau b
FW Tau b
FW Tau b is an exoplanet orbiting the star FW Tau, located about 472.9 light-years (145.0 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2013.
The host star FW Tau has apparent magnitude of 15.5, with absolute magnitude of 9.7. It is 0.3 times more massive and 0.3 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 3270 with its spectral types of M4
