HD 202696 and Its Two Known Planets

HD 202696 is a star 615 light-years away with two planets. Its spectral type, K0 III-IV, places it among the cooler K-class stars, and its reported temperature of 5040 K is cooler than the Sun's. The star's reported mass of 1.91 solar masses and radius of 6.43 solar radii are both larger than the Sun's, and it is estimated to be 1.32 billion years old.

Both planets were discovered in 2019 using the radial velocity method, which measures the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion; repeated wobbles reveal the planet and its orbital period. HD 202696 b has a reported lower limit of 634.38868 Earth masses and an orbital period of 518 days, the shortest among the listed planets. HD 202696 c has a reported lower limit of 592.43512 Earth masses and an orbital period of 947 days, the longest among the listed planets.
