TIC 178172313 b: A Neptune-Like World in a One-Planet System

TIC 178172313 is a star located 581 light-years away. It has a mass of 0.91 solar masses, a radius of 0.843 solar radii, and a temperature of 5300 K. Its reported radius estimate is smaller than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's. This host is known to have one planet.

That planet, TIC 178172313 b, is a Neptune-like world discovered by transit in 2026. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness, and repeated dips help establish orbital periods. TIC 178172313 b orbits every 4.37 days and has a radius of 2.8 Earth radii, which is larger than Earth's.

Neptune-like is a size class: it compares radius with Earth's, reaching up to 4 times Earth's radius, rather than describing composition. TIC 178172313 b's orbital period is the time it takes to complete one orbit.
