LP 261-75 A and Its Planet

LP 261-75 A is an M-type dwarf, a small, cool red star, located 111 light-years away. Its spectral type is M4.5 V. The star's reported mass estimate is 0.284 solar masses, smaller than the Sun's, and its reported radius estimate is 0.306 solar radii, also smaller than the Sun's. Its reported temperature of 3140 K is cooler than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.

That planet is LP 261-75 b, discovered in 2006 by imaging. Its reported mass estimate is 6670 Earth masses, larger than Earth's and roughly 21 times Jupiter's mass. No orbital period is reported for LP 261-75 b.
