DH Tau b: A Planet Orbiting a Cool Red Dwarf
DH Tau is a star 440 light-years away with a spectral type of M0.5, placing it in the cool, red end of the temperature classes. Its mass is 0.683 solar masses, smaller than the Sun's, while its radius is 1.37 solar radii, larger than the Sun's. The star's temperature of 4370 K is cooler than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.
That planet is DH Tau b, discovered by imaging in 2004. Its mass is 3500 Earth masses, which is larger than Earth's and roughly 11 times Jupiter's mass. No orbital period is reported for DH Tau b.
