mu Leo b
mu Leo b
mu Leo b is an exoplanet orbiting the star mu Leo, located about 124.1 light-years (38.1 pc) away from Solar System. Its discovery was publicly announced on 2014.
The host star mu Leo has apparent magnitude of 3.9, with absolute magnitude of 1.0. It is 1.5 times more massive and 11.4 times bigger compared with our Sun. The surface temperature is 4538 with its spectral types of K2III
In this planetary system, the extrasolar planet mu Leo b orbits around the star mu Leo every 357.8 days with its orbital distance of 1.10 AU ( 164557657.8 km)
(Projected orbit of mu Leo b around its host star mu Leo)
