The recorded orbit
The selected archive solution gives an orbital period of 3.2696 days, or 0.00895168 Earth years. Its reported semimajor axis is 0.0444 AU. That orbital scale is 0.1147 times Mercury's semimajor axis. The listed eccentricity is 0.45. Using those central values, the model's nearest and farthest star–planet distances are about 0.02442 and 0.06438 AU. These are derived comparisons, without propagated errors. The period measures a year on this planet. It does not establish the length of its rotation or the duration of daylight.
Read how orbital period, size, and eccentricity fit together.
Size and mass
No planetary radius is supplied in this selected solution. The profile leaves that gap visible rather than estimating a size from the mass. The mass parameter is 10.1 (+0.79 / −0.75) Earth masses. Its archive provenance is Msini. Read this provenance before comparing it with a true mass: an inclination-dependent minimum or another mass definition must keep its qualification.
The host star and received light
The host is cataloged as HD 134060. The selected row gives spectral type G3 IV. Its reported effective temperature is 5966 K. Its reported mass is 1.095 solar masses. The available stellar and orbital entries do not establish a breathable atmosphere, surface water, or life.
