b Cen b
b Cen b
b Cen b is an exoplanet orbiting the star b Cen, located about 325.2 light-years (99.7 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2021.
The host star b Cen has apparent magnitude of 4.0, with absolute magnitude of -1.0. It is 5.5 times more massive and 3.0 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 17600 with its spectral types of B3V
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet b Cen b orbits around the star b Cen every 1800000.0 days with its orbital distance of 556.00 AU ( 83176416109.2 km)
(Projected orbit of b Cen b around its host star b Cen)
The Star b Cen 's habitable zone is located at the following distance
