GJ 9066 and Its Planet
GJ 9066 is an M-type main-sequence star, a small, cool red dwarf, located 14.6 light-years away. It has a spectral type of M5.0 V, a mass of 0.15 solar masses, a radius of 0.164 solar radii, and a temperature of 3150 K. Its mass, radius, and temperature are all smaller or cooler than the Sun's.
One planet orbits this star. GJ 9066 c was discovered in 2020 by the radial velocity method, which detects the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion. The planet has a minimum mass of 66.7 Earth masses, a lower bound on its true mass, and an orbital period of 771 days. Its minimum mass is larger than Earth's.
